Hi, OpenFoam newbie here.
Im trying to implement a pimpleFoam solver for the OpenFoam v2106 simpleFoam tutorialcase for a backwards facing step.
No matter what i do the same error seems to arrise. What am i doing wrong here?

fvSolution file;
Code:

Hi J,

My guess would be that you miss the solvers keyword:

In your example the bold line is missing. Not 100% sure if that would solve it, but worth a try.
