Hi everyone. I am using SHM and the following error continues to appear:



--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: (openfoam-2306)
Entry 'maxNonOrtho' not found in dictionary "/Users/prom----/OpenFOAM/ibukunOluwa/testCases/nstxuTile/testSnappy/system/snappyHexMeshDict.meshQualityControls"


file: system/snappyHexMeshDict.meshQualityControls at line 9 to 306.

From bool Foam::dictionary::readEntry(const Foam::word &, T &, enum keyType:ption, IOobjectOption::readOption) const [T = double]
in file /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2306/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/dictionaryTemplates.C at line 327.

FOAM exiting

However, I do have 'maxNonOrtho' listed in the meshQualityDict subdictionary in SHM. I have no idea what the issue could be. I even restarted openFOAM but it still produced the error.



I am using openFOAM v2306. SHMDict is attached – please advise on what I need to do.

It is listed in the meshQualityControls -> relaxed subdictionary, but missing inside meshQualityControls itself. Add it there as

meshQualityControls
{
    ...

    maxNonOrtho 65;
    ...

}

and you should be good.

Thanks so much, that worked! I also realized that many keyword parameters were not defined in my meshQualityDict dictionary.


Note that I included the line #include "meshQualityDict" at the top of the meshQualityControls sub-dictionary. Keywords like maxNonOrtho should be given values in meshQualityDict and be called up on in snappyHexMesh.
