the problem regarding boundarydata importing

Hi guys, I am using OPENFOAM-Extend4.1 and I need to import boundarydata. As shown below, the pressure file is included by using #include command. However, when I run the simulation, the error appearred. Do you have any idea?

Code:

    format      ascii;

    class       scalarAverageField;

    object      values;

}

#include "p.data"

Code:

and the p.data is as following,

In fact, the simulation can be run successfully if the pressure file reads below.

Hi,

I have experienced this in the past and I don't know why this error occurs. But the question is: why don't you just use the second format, which actually works? At least, this is what I did in the end.

Best,

Yes, the second format definitely works but I need to arrange a lot of files manually, which takes a long time since I don't know if it is possible to use Matlab for writing a script of allowing writing pressure data append a basic empty file with a header.

Does anyone have ideas?
