Hi,
I am an absolute begineer in OF. I am trying to run a simulation of simple intake struture with culvert. However, when I run the following command:
Code:
mpiexec -n 20 setFields |tee setfields.out
OF gives me followig errors:

Code:
......
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: (openfoam-
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
2206
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

Bad token - could not get scalar value
)

file:
file:
0/alpha.water
0/alpha.water

    From
Foam::Istream& Foam::operator>>(Foam::Istream&, Foam::doubleScalar&)
Foam::Istream& Foam::operator>>(Foam::Istream&, Foam::doubleScalar&)
.....
Though it writes a alpha.water file and runs
Code:
mpiexec -n 20 interFoam -parallel |tee interfoam.out
I am not sure what is causing the error in setFields and alpha.water. Please let me know if I should upload the case files. Thanks.

Roy,

The setFields utility cannot be run on multiple processors. If you run on a single processor this should work fine.
