Dear All,
I am using atmBoundaryLayerInletVelocity for my velocity inlet and one my variables needs to be time dependent (Uref).
I have CSV file of my Uref with time varying.

on this link, I found a solution but i have some errors:

https://www.openfoam.com/news/main-n...ary-conditions

my error is:

 FOAM FATAL ERROR: (openfoam-2112)
[9] unallocated autoPtr of type N4Foam9Function1INS_6VectorIdEEEE

I tried to use table and my 0/U file is:

any suggestion about unallocated autoPtr error?

I think there is a bug being introduced recently. Apply the changes below and see if your case runs.

I also came across this bug, even when using a constant value for Uref. The issue arises when using a transient solver such as pimplefoam. Can confirm the patch works. Thanks!
