Hi Friends,

I have a problem regarding "symmetryPlane'. I used the same setup to run simpleFoam yesterday and it was working. But I cannot run the same case today.. Could anyone check my error?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Jin,

Some time ago I had a similar problem. In my case, I misspelled symmetryPlane in the blockMeshDict.

Best Regards,
Paulo

Hi,

Any update on this??


I am also getting same error.

Hello,

Just had the same error because I had updated files in folder 0 but not in folder polyMesh.

You have to update files in folder 0 with the symmetryPlane condition, e.g.:

sidewall
{
type symmetryPlane;
}

But also update your constant/polyMesh/boundary files, e.g:

sidewall
{
type symmetryPlane;
inGroups 1(symmetryPlane);
nFaces 50;
startFace 817;
}
