I have a simple blockMesh, but when I run it I get the error message "ill defined primitiveEntry starting at keyword 'boundary'".
I checked already for missing brackets or spaces, and compared it to tutorials, but I dont find a mistake.

Could you please tell me what did I do wrong?
Thanl you very much!
