error: keyword outlet is undefined in dictionary
 

I am trying to simulate flow past a square cylinder using pisofoam-pitzDaily. I get the following error when I want to get the file for plotting inital data. The content of 0/U are also pasted below.

hi ,
i am getting following error message. i used fuel inlet type uniformFixedValue but error shows uniformValue

any suggestions to correct this mistake

I suggest you to learn how to read the error message. The info there is very relevant.

You have,
meaning that in your file alpha.water (in the directory 0) the keyword "uniformValue" is missing for your boundary called FUEL_INLET. More precisely, the error is from line 34 to 35.

so, you need to add the keyword "uniformValue" instead of "value".

Cheers,

Thanks Cyprien!!

My code is
32 FUEL_INLET
33 {
34 type uniformFixedValue;
35 value uniform 1;
}

to changed like

32 FUEL_INLET
33 {
34 type uniformFixedValue;
35 uniformValue uniform 1;
}

is it correct ?
