Essential entry "value" missing

markoseaajan · February 4, 2018, 01:30

First of all I'm extremely new to OpenFOAM. I am using it for the validation part of a project in college and I have been mostly learning how to use it on the job from other example cases. My case consists of a rectangular duct with air flowing over a heated plate in the center solved using buoyantBoussinessqSimpleFoam. The problem is in the epsilon file where i keep getting an error saying "Essential entry 'Value' missing" even though I have added it in the lines specified. Has anyone encountered this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

This is a screenshot of the error and the case file (epsilon)

Hi,

value line in heater boundary is commented out. Why don't you just remove // from the beginning of the line?
