No outflow - Error
 
Hello everyone,

I'm trying to run my first own test case with OpenFOAM. I managed to snappyHexMesh my original .stl file.

Now I'd like to run simpleFoam on it. I adapted all the "0" and boundary conditions from the tutorials example for my case. But when I run simpleFOAM, I get following error:
__________________________________________________ _______________

Create time

Create mesh for time = 0

C2 1.92;
sigmaEps 1.3;
}

Continuity error cannot be removed by adjusting the outflow.
Please check the velocity boundary conditions and/or run potentialFoam to initialise the outflow.

I don't know what to do now. I understand the problem, that there's no outflow, but where or how can I change that?

The boundary condition for my outlet is a patch, and all starting conditions are zeroGradient at the patch.

All right :-)
I've just fixed the problem. I rechecked all files and then I saw, that the "p" condition wasn't correct at the outlet.
Let's wait for the results!
