Warnings and problems with bc

evgenii · February 7, 2006, 08:16

Hi everyone.
I have some problems with b.c. again.
I wrote my own solver and it worked succesfully. But somehow now it returns errors:
-Incorrect patch field type "directionMixed" for patch ... Boundary condition specifies 'empty' for field H.
This error appears thrice for each of 3 patches.

What's the problem with it?

And the second error is:
-Invalid patch field type "newDirectionMixed" for patch ... in field dictionary E.
This error appears thrice for each of 3 patches.

Actually this are not errors but warnings and it appears after blockMesh.
I use directionMixed for field H, and newDirectionMixed for field E.
And problem is that program works, but
it doesn't calculate fields. It remain zero.

Hope someone can give me advise.
Eugene

In the boundary file (and probably in the blockMeshDict if you have used that), the patch thye is specified as "empty". Change the type to "patch" and all will be well.

Enjoy,
