Hello,


I'm new here and with OpenFOAM and I would like If someone could help me because I'm trying to introduce a fanCurve in my inlet but I keep getting the error "keyword fanCurve is undefined in dictionary .../p/boundaryField/inlet" and I don't know why.


my fanCurve:

Hi,

It may depend on which version you use. It looks like the setup is for version 7, but version 8 uses a different naming scheme:

code documentation.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
Tom
