Help Please
 

Hi friends,

I get this error when I run my simulation:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Essential entry 'value' missing

file: /home/ofuser/workingDir/Documents/openfoam/proyecto/background/0/alpha.water.boundaryField.oversetAll

This is my file alpha.water. I think it´s fine.

dimensions [0 0 0 0 0 0 0];

internalField uniform 0;

boundaryField
{
#includeEtc "caseDicts/setConstraintTypes"

inlet
{
type fixedValue;
value $internalField;
}

outlet
{
type variableHeightFlowRate;
lowerBound 0;
upperBound 1;
value $internalField;
}

atmosphere
{
type inletOutlet;
inletValue $internalField;
value $internalField;
}

hull
{
type zeroGradient;
}

oversetAll
{
type overset;
}
}

Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance

Hi Hector, I have not used oversetMesh command, but by seeing the error I can suggest that, you have missed to add the 'value' somewhere?

Also, I would like to ask, why the dimensions of alpha are [0 0 0 0 0 0 0]? Shouldn't it be [1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0]?

The error message tells you that in the file
alpha.water
within
boundaryField
in the boundary condition for oversetAll
the entry value is missing.

This will hence fix your error:

Thanks for your answer

Thank you very much. I could fix the mistake. Thanks again
