Hello,

I was using OpenFOAM 2.3.0 with U bc for inlet as

type flowRateInletVelocity;
volumetricFlowRate tableFile;
tableFileCoeffs
{
fileName"$FOAM_CASE/inlet-time";
outOfBounds repeat;
}
value uniform (0 0 0);

which worked well. But when I installed newer OpenFOAM 2.4.x, it stopped running with a message of "keyword volumetricFlowRateCoeffs is undefined in dictionary .../U.boundaryField.inlet"

Does anybody know what went wrong in the newer versions of OpenFOAM? I would expect some kind of settings or keywords have changed in OF24x to cause this problem. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks a lot.

Hi

Not 100% sure but the error message would suggest you would have to rename tableFileCoeffs to volumetricFlowRateCoeffs and it should work.

That was it! Thanks a lot, Tom. I certainly need to learn how to read the error message. So far, I've been assuming the message to be too hard to understand and never bothered to look carefully. Your answer taught me otherwise. Thank you.
