Dear Foamers,
I am running a common case. Some files such as "points.gz", "owner.gz" were generated down to polyMesh in constant folder after I run blockMesh. Then when I run the solver, it shows
Cannot find file "points" in directory "box/polyMesh" in times 0 down to constant
Why there generated files *.gz but not the normal ones?
Thank you for your answer.

Thank you for your answer.

Does it work though if you remove the extension by editing the filename? If those are gnu zip files maybe you can unzip them and then they'll work.

If you could upload your project somewhere that would narrow things do so people can see this. Also what version of OpenFOAM are you on and what system?

Dear Andrew,
Thank you for your suggestion. I found these files works well as normal ones and they are not zip files. The problem I encountered comes from my lack of operation. I used topoSet to select cells and reassign BCs. I missed the operation of splitMeshRegions. After this operation, the case works well now.
