Hello everyone, I need some Help

I want to build a channel with periodic Obsctcale.
I built an obstacle successfully following the method in the video

And then I try to use For loop to build more obstacles. But I failed and there is an Error

}
}

{

type cellSet;
action invert;
}
}

);

// ************************************************** *********************** //




--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Illegal dictionary entry or environment variable name "minx"
Valid dictionary entries are 0()

file: /home/dyfluid/Gmsh/versuch3/system/topoSetDict

I don't know the reason. Is this method feasible?

Thanks a lot for your help

Happy foam
