Hello, I'm using gmshtoFoam for this case. It works well. However., I'm getting this error when trying to run the solver:


--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
More than one patch accessing the same transform but not of the same sign.
patch:frontBoundary transform:0 sign:-1 current transforms:3(-1 -1 0)


for all the files in the 0 folder I defined:

}

backBoundary
{

}
upperBoundary
{

}
lowerBoundary
{

}
wallBoundary
{

}
}


and for the changeDictionaryDict I have:

}
}


Any help on how to solve this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
