FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: attempt to read beyond EOF

Hi everyone i am using OpenFOAM-2.3.0 tutorial case called motorbike
i try to run it using rapidCFD but i get the error as shown below

Code:

file: /home/urban/DL-workspace/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/tutorials/incompressible/simpleFoam/motorBike_test_rapidCFD/system/controlDict.functions.readFields.fields at line 18.



    From function ITstream::read(token&)

    in file db/IOstreams/Tstreams/ITstream.C at line 83.

This is the control dictionary file

what changes shall i make in controlDict file to solve the error of "attempt to read beyond EOF"

thank you

OF tells you where the error appears:

Code:

controlDict.functions.readFields.fields at line 18.

Check for unbalanced brackets, missing semicolons ...

Hi i have resolved the above issue but now i am faced with new issue as shown below

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

Unknown function type readFields



Valid functions are :



7

(

fieldAverage

fieldCoordinateSystemTransform

fieldValueDelta

patchProbes

probes

sets

surfaces

)







    From function functionObject::New(const word& name, const Time&, const dictionary&)

    in file db/functionObjects/functionObject/functionObject.C at line 92.

it seems it is related with the controlDict but i can't figure it out
my controlDict is shown below

Code:

You need the fieldFunctionObjects library for readFields

Hi thank you for your reply now i am getting the error as shown below

where do i need to put those valid functions in which file

thank you
