recompiling moveEngineMesh
 

I would like to recompile the moveEngineMesh solver/utility. I made a copy and changed its name (to moveEngineMeshKD1), recompile and run. Everything went smooth. Then i also made a copy of engineMesh.H/C and changed its name to engineMeshKD1.H/C.

Then i did a small modification of my copy of engineMeshKD1.H/C - i changed the names of boundaries (pistonHead, linear and piston). I modified the #include line in the top of moveEngineMeshKD1.c to include the new modified file. I added the file path to options. I recompiled and then run. The new solver/utility showed an error:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
cannot find piston patch
From function engineMesh::engineMesh(const IOobject& io)
in file engineMesh/engineMesh/engineMesh.C at line 79.
FOAM exiting

It seems my modified engineMeshKD1 was not included. I have no idea why is that. I did not include the engineMesh.h, i changed it to engineMeshKD1.h. Any idea what am i doing wrong? I attached the code changes below.

Regards,
Klemen
