CFD Online Discussion Forums - Reading in Custom Field for Multiple Blocks using blockMesh

Hello,

I'm new here and I've looked through several forums and google searches with no luck on this issue, but feel free to redirect me if I have overlooked something. I am trying to read in a custom volScalarField, "R", using blockMesh. Should be pretty straight forward but I have a few blocks and I want a different value of "R" in one of the blocks. See the code snippets below.

blockMeshDict:

Code:

blocks

(

    hex ( . . . ) Region_0 ( . . . ) simpleGrading ( . . . )

    hex ( . . . ) Region_1 ( . . . ) simpleGrading ( . . . )

    .

    .

    .



    hex ( . . . ) Region_5 ( . . . ) simpleGrading ( . . . ) 

);

.

.

Code:

FoamFile

{

    version     2.0;

    format      ascii;

    class       volScalarField;

    object      R;

}

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //



dimensions      [0 1 -2 0 0 0 0];



internalField

{

    Region_0

    {

        type            fixedValue;

        value           0;

    }



    Region_1

    {

        type            fixedValue;

        value           0;

    }

.

.

.

    Region_5

    {

        type            fixedValue;

        value           10E10;

    }

}

.

Info <<"Reading field R\n" <<endl;

volScalarField R

(

    IOobject

    (

       IOobject::groupName("R",continuousPhaseName),

       runTime.timeName(),

       mesh,

       IOobject::MUST_READ,

       IOobject::AUTO_WRITE

    ),

    mesh

);

.

.

When I run blockMesh I get no error, but when I try to run my solver I get the following message:

Code:

Any help is appreciated!
