Hi FOAMers,

Please, I am having a problem running the OscillatingInletACMI2D tutorial with pimpleDyMFoam.

With the already created case file, checkMesh and dynamicMeshDict error arose.

a) checkMesh Error:

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
Create time

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
No times selected

From function checkMesh
in file db/Time/timeSelector.C at line 263.

FOAM exiting

b) dynamicMeshDict error while running pimpleDyMFoam:

Create mesh for time = 0

Selecting dynamicFvMesh solidBodyMotionFvMesh
Selecting solid-body motion function oscillatingLinearMotion
Applying solid body motion to cellZone inlet


--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Unable to find cellZone inlet. Valid celLZones are:0()

From function solidBodyMotionFvMesh::solidBodyMotionFvMesh(const IOobject&)
in file solidBodyMotionFvMesh/solidBodyMotionFvMesh.C at line 107.

FOAM exiting


Does anyone have an idea what is going on? I have tried to check the blockMeshDict also.

Francis.

Greetings Francis,

You need to run with the "-constant" option:

checkMesh -constant

The cellZone named "inlet" does not exist. This is likely because it was not created yet with setSet or topoSet or some other utility.


I can now see that you're referring to the tutorial "incompressible/pimpleDyMFoam/oscillatingInletACMI2D" in OpenFOAM 2.3... did you run the script Allrun? Or are you at least following the steps described in the Allrun and Allrun.pre scripts?
If you don't know yet, the scripts present in the local folder can be executed, for example, like this:

./Allrun

Best regards,
Bruno
