Could someone explain the difference between how funkysetfields operates and setfields work.

I need to use funkysetfields due to its adaptability however it is causing issues running the simulation at the beginning. Such as

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
wrong token type - expected Scalar, found on line 0 the word 'nan'

file: /home/joseph/OpenFOAM/joseph-2.4.0/run/CFD-PC-master/CFD-PC/interThermalPhaseFoam/tutorials/VapourGrowthWithoutLayer/system/data.solverPerformance.p_rgh at line 0.

From function operator>>(Istream&, Scalar&)
in file lnInclude/Scalar.C at line 93.

However this is not the case for setFieldsDict.

My simulation is for a growing bubble.

My funkysetfieldsdict is

alpha1.org
{
field alpha1;
expression "0";
condition "pow(pos().x-0,2) + pow(pos().y-0,2) < pow((0.1E-3),2)";
keepPatches true;
}
BubbleTemp
{
field T;
expression "373.15";
condition "pow(pos().x-0,2) + pow(pos().y-0,2) < pow((0.1E-3),2)";
keepPatches true;
}

Whereas the simulation works for setFieldsDict with this configuration

defaultFieldValues
(
volScalarFieldValue alpha.water 1
);

regions
(
sphereToCell
{
centre (0.0025 0.0025 0.001);
radius 0.0005;
fieldValues
(
volScalarFieldValue alpha.water 0
);
}
);


Please let me know if anyone has any ideas. Thanks
