pimpleFoam solver error
 

I've trying to run this tutorial but I keep getting this error with solver I believe:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
wrong token type - expected string, found on line 54 the word 'fieldFunctionObjects'

not sure how to fix it? any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Make sure to use OpenFOAM ESI versions (e.g. v2306) . I believe you are getting this error because you are using OpenFOAM Foundation version such as v10 (even though the headers of the files imply that the case is prepared for OpenFOAM v2306).

Anyway, you can make it work for both versions by using this syntax:

Thanks for your help. I used the syntax you recommend but now I'm getting this error:


From function void Foam::DimensionedField<Type, GeoMesh>::operator=(const Foam::DimensionedField<Type, GeoMesh>&) [with Type = double; GeoMesh = Foam::volMesh]

To increase your chance of solving the issue, please follow these guidelines:

1) Please provide details about your setup, including your case and the turbulence model you are using.

2) When sharing error messages, make sure to provide the full message and not just a portion of it.

3) To ensure readability, please use code tags in your post.

Thank you.
