Hello,
usually the solvers abort program execution with the message "--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR" if there is something wrong with the format of the input data (for example giving "value (0 0 0)" instead of "uniformValue (0 0 0)" to a uniform boundary condition).

This is problematic, because I have to run some clean-up code when the solver crashes after wrong user input (I use a modification of the standard solvers).

Is the program abort hard coded in OpenFOAM? Or can I change some switch (in the global controlDict, maybe?) so that a warning is shown or an exception is thrown instead of exiting immediately?
