Roesch is on a distinguished road
I'm running a singlephase CFD-DEM-Simulation with openfoam coupled to liggghts.



It's the first time I'm trying to work with the coupld simulation.



I get the following error:

So I understand there is something wrogn with my boundaries. But bc I'm trying to wokring with a singlephase simulation there are no topics available with this problem. My p and u boundaries are listed below:

Thanks in advance for your help.

Oh and I'm using the PISO algorithm

Hi there,
Could you please share the coupling properties and the FvSolution files ?
