Hi everyone! Im currently new at blockmesh and i keep getting this error message: "ill defined primitiveEntry starting at keyword Boundary ....."

I've seen most of the solutions to this error are related to syntax mistakes but even though i checked i can't find any so please feel free to let me know if you find one. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

There is one bracket missing at the beginning of the outlet patch faces definition:

Code:
outlet
	{
		type patch;
		faces
		(
			(57 58 62 61)
			(61 62 66 65)
		);
	}

On a side note: this kind of error could also be related to a syntax error before the boundary section. So don't forget to check for typos elsewhere in the file, and preferably post the whole file if you need help.

Cheers,
Yann
