Hi everybody
during a mesh creation with openfoam I found this error


Quote:
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Cannot find patchField entry for Inlet

file: /home/gnicche/Scrivania/cilindro/0/p.boundaryField from line 25 to line 51.

From function void Foam::GeometricField<Type, PatchField, GeoMesh>::Boundary::readField(const Foam:imensionedField<TypeR, GeoMesh>&, const Foam::dictionary&) [with Type = double; PatchField = Foam::fvPatchField; GeoMesh = Foam::volMesh]
in file /mnt/home/SW/CFDSupportFOAM4.0/beta/OpenFOAM-dev/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/GeometricBoundaryField.C at line 191.

FOAM exiting

and this is the file to which it refers:


Quote:
FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class volScalarField;
object p;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

dimensions [0 2 -2 0 0 0 0];

internalField uniform 0;

boundaryField
{
inlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}

object
{
type zeroGradient;
}

walls
{
type slip;
}

outlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 0;
}

Front
{
type empty;
}

Back
{
type empty;
}
}

Thanks

Use capital I in your p file for Inlet:
inlet ---> Inlet
