Hi foamers,


I got successfully my mesh with blockMesh. I would like to run the case with laplacian Solver but I got this error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword sym is undefined in dictionary "/home/ifas/OpenFOAM/ifas-2.1.1/praktikum/Chpt2/Steelbar/0/T::boundaryField"

file: /home/ifas/OpenFOAM/ifas-2.1.1/praktikum/Chpt2/Steelbar/0/T::boundaryField from line 25 to line 48.

From function dictionary::subDict(const word& keyword) const
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 461.

FOAM exiting


I cannot understand the reason. Here are the boundary file in polyMesh folder and the T file in 0 folder:

Anyone know what could be the problem?

Hi Marco,

You are missing a ";" (read: semi-colon) after the value definition in the boundary patch airWall in the field T.

Kind regards,

Hi Niels

Thank you very much. I got another error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword gradient is undefined in dictionary "/home/ifas/OpenFOAM/ifas-2.1.1/praktikum/Chpt2/Steelbar/0/T::boundaryField::bottom"

file: /home/ifas/OpenFOAM/ifas-2.1.1/praktikum/Chpt2/Steelbar/0/T::boundaryField::bottom from line 42 to line 43.

Can you help me again??

I solved!!! I replaced Value with Gradient in bottom patch!

Thanks

You are welcome.
