Just an idea: Did you change the blockMesh dictonary from it's original state?
If so, did you rerun the blockMesh utility to refresh all entries / files?

Hi,

long time has passed since this was discussed, but i'm facing the same problem and it seems impossible to find the solution.
Can someone give me a hand?
