Hello Everyone,


My OpenFoam version is 4.1



I am using fvOptions to generate a heat source. My fvOptions file is given below:

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    object      porousZone;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
heatSource
{
    type            scalarSemiImplicitSource;
    active          true;
 
    scalarSemiImplicitSourceCoeffs
    {
        selectionMode   cellSet; // all, cellSet, cellZone, points
        //cellZone        Hot_box;
        cellSet         hotFaceCellSet;
        volumeMode      absolute; // specific;
        injectionRateSuSp
        {
            h     (1000 0);
        }
    }
}

I am using the cellSet option and for that I am using topoSetDict, to generate first the faceSet and then from that faceSet to cellSet. My topoSetDict is given below:

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    object      topoSetDict;
}

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

actions
(
    // wall
    {
        name    hot;
        type    faceSet;
        action  new;
        source  patchToFace;
        sourceInfo
        {
            name "hotFace";
        }
    }
// Select based on faceSet
    {
        name    hotFaceCellSet;
        type      cellSet;
        action    new;
        source   faceToCell;
        sourceInfo
        {
            set hot;             // Name of faceSet

       //option neighbour; // cell with neighbour in faceSet
        //option owner;     //  ,,       owner
            option any;         // cell with any face in faceSet
       //option all;       // cell with all faces in faceSet
        }
    }

This topoSetDict file is creating my faceSet and cellSet both. My log file for topoSet is given below:

Create time

Create polyMesh for time = 0

Reading topoSetDict

Time = 0
    mesh not changed.
Created faceSet hot
    Applying source patchToFace
    Adding all faces of patch hotFace ...
    Found matching patch hotFace with 1092 faces.
    faceSet hot now size 1092
Created cellSet hotFaceCellSet
    Applying source faceToCell
    Adding cells according to faceSet hot ...
    cellSet hotFaceCellSet now size 1092
 End

But I am getting the following error:

Creating finite volume options from "constant/fvOptions"

Selecting finite volume options model type scalarSemiImplicitSource
    Source: heatSource
    - selecting cells using cellSet hotFaceCellSet

I am not getting why I am getting this error? Or I am making some other mistake?



I shall be very thankful if someone can help me out in this.

Hello,



Did you ever figure out how to fix that issue? I am running into the same problem.
