[ALC]

I am very new to this software and recently installed OF1.7 beside OF1.6 to use the new boundary conditions.

I am trying to use the new swirl/cylindrical boundary conditions in OF 1.7, but I get the error below even though I follow the format specified in the header files for these bc's. The file should not need a 'value' line according to the header. Also, I have checked that my shell is searching OF1.7 directories for files by running a solver (fireFoam) that does not exist in my non-updated version of OF1.6. Finally, I am trying to do this on a nonplanar mesh that was produced by snappyHexMesh.

Thanks in advance for any help.
