Foam warning error
 

:confused:

I had tried alot to run the tutorials of dsmcfoam using already available case but everytime error pops out when i run the command dsmcFoam.

blockMesh and dsmcInitialise command runs properly but following error pops out while running "dsmcFoam".

kindly tell what is the reason behind that.

Hello,

The solver complains about a missing file for the q variable in the 0 directory:
Make sure you have a q file with proper initialization and boundary conditions.
I never used dsmcFoam so I have no idea what is the q variable but you can check dsmcFoam tutorials.
