--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: Unknown patchField type patch for patch type patch
 

hello people, I'm new to Openfoam..
when I try to run the simpleFoam, this error appeared.
can someone tell me the error/problem ?
and also how to fixed it. Thank you

Hi haddad,

there is a problem in your U file in line 26. I think that you are not using one of the valid patchField types. If you need more help please post the U file. But please have a look at this before: https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/op...tml#post424508

Kind regards,
