vishal_s is on a distinguished road
I an new to Openfoam , I am trying to use Spalart-Allmaras model for my nozzle flow in interFoam. I incoporated nuTilda and nutildaFinal in the fvsolutions of the system file, but I a getting this error. can any one tell me, how to solve this error.

This is the what I incorporated in the SYSTEM/FVSOLUTIONS
