Error while running pimpleDyMFoam
 

Hello everyone, I'm new at working with OpenFoam and an error appear while running
mpirun -np 8 pimpleDyMFoam -parallel
I can't figure a way to solve it.
The error is:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
[4] keyword cellMotionU is undefined in dictionary "IOstream.solvers"
[4]
[4] file: IOstream.solvers from line 0 to line 0.
[4]
[4] From function dictionary::subDict(const word& keyword) const
[4] in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 608.

I'm grateful for any help you can provide me. Thanks. Daniela

Hi,

Do you have something like

in your fvSolution? If yes, could you post case files, this way it is simpler to find the problem?

First of all thank you so much for answering me!
My fvsolution is the following:

So I add to my fvSolution the part that was missing. But I go another error that I can't solve.
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
[6] keyword div((nuEff*dev(T(grad(U))))) is undefined in dictionary "IOstream.divSchemes"

My fvSchemes is the following:

Can you help me?

Hi,

Semicolon after "div(phi,epsilon) Gauss linear" is missing (so the next line with "div((nuEff*dev(T(grad(U))))) Gauss linear;" is eaten by it, and as a result you have got error message about undefined keyword).

Oh, lack of attention, that's embarrassing! Thank you so much for your help!
