Hello folks,

I am a OpenFOAM beginner and I want to make solitary wave with OpenFOAM.

And I found that OpenFOAM doesn't have solitary wave model and

openfoam-dev has solitary wave model.

So I tried openfoam-dev interFoam/wave tutorial.

In the U file, the wave model is Airy so I changed to solitary and

I executed Allrun and interFoam and I got this message.

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
keyword offset is undefined in dictionary ".solitary"

file: .solitary from line 36 to line 39.

    From function const Foam::entry& Foam::dictionary::lookupEntry(const Foam::word&, bool, bool) const
    in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 566.

FOAM exiting

Could anybody tell me what the problem is?

Thanks!!

Hi and welcome,

short and quick. a) Please use code tags; b) as it is written:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
keyword offset is undefined in dictionary ".solitary"

the keyword offset is not defined in your solitary dictionary.

where can I find dictionary .solitary ?

You did the change:

In the U file, the wave model is Airy so I changed to solitary

I never worked with that model but actually you activated it. More information are given in the corresponding header file. Provide a test case that we can check your problem.
