I ran blockMesh and got this error message

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
Attempt to return dictionary entry as a primitive


file: /home/dnrmehd/OpenFOAM/dnrmehd-11/run/test1/system/blockMeshDict/boundary from line 53 to line 76.

    From function virtual Foam::ITstream& Foam::dictionaryEntry::stream() const
    in file db/dictionary/dictionaryEntry/dictionaryEntry.C at line 83.

what should i do

[Lorenzo210]

Hello,


It should be:


boundary
(
...
);


Instead of:


boundary
{
...
}


Cheers,
Lorenzo
