Hello all,

I am a new user of openFoam and I try to construct overtopping problems. I have to set face zone with topoSetDict but I get the error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Entry 'faceSet' not found in dictionary "/scratch/e1252a02/051-075/057/system/topoSetDict.actions.sourceInfo"


file: /scratch/e1252a02/051-075/057/system/topoSetDict.actions.sourceInfo

From function bool Foam::dictionary::readEntry(const Foam::word &, T &, Foam::keyType:ption, bool) const [with T = Foam::word]
in file /apps/applications/OpenFOAM/v1920/intel/18.0.3/impi/18.0.3/x86-skylake/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1912/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/dictionaryTemplates.C at line 334.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with this error, overtoppingfaceSet(result file) was made in /constant/polyMesh/sets/ but overtopping(other result file) was not made.

I think it has problem in step 'faceZoneSet'.

I have included the topoSetDict file, could some please help me?

Hi Deoga,

I think you just missed one bracket "}" at the end of the overtopping segment in your topoSetDict.

    {
        name    overtopping;
        type    faceZoneSet;
        action  new;
        source  setToFaceZone;
        sourceInfo
        {
                set overtoppingfaceSet;
        }
    }

hope you have solved this since it was posted one month ago.

Regards,
Ethan

It's faceSet overtoppingfaceSet; not set overtoppingfaceSet;

Here you have an annotated topoSetDict : https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...poSetDict#L248
