Hi,
When trying to compute the forces and coefficients around a 2d aerofoil section, i get this error message... --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: expected a [ in dimensionSet in stream ITstream : C:/PROGRA~1/BLUECF~1/ofuser-of5/run/aero3/constant/transportProperties.nu, line 18, IOstream: Version 2.0, format ASCII, line 18, OPENED, GOOD file: C:/PROGRA~1/BLUECF~1/ofuser-of5/run/aero3/constant/transportProperties.nu at line 18. From function Foam::Istream& Foam::dimensionSet::read(Foam::Istream&, Foam::scalar&, const Foam::HashTable<Foam::dimensioned<double> >&) in file dimensionSet/dimensionSetIO.C at line 419. FOAM exiting I have already tried editing nu in transportproperties into different formats but nothing works. I have tried both nu l0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-05; and nu nu[0 2 -1 0 0 0 0]1e-05 |

it seems like a typo, it should be:
nu [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-05; // change | to [ or nu nu[0 2 -1 0 0 0 0]1e-05; // add semicolon if you're using OF 5 you don't have to add the dimension so nu 1e-5; is enough. |

Hi,
Same problem, I've tried the solutions above and nothing. The model is running but when I try to run with functions it stops working with this error: $ icoFoam >log --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: expected a [ in dimensionSet in stream ITstream : C:/PROGRA~1/BLUECF~1/ofuser-of5/run/cilindro61/constant/transportProperties.nu, line 16, IOstream: Version 2.0, format ASCII, line 16, OPENED, EOF file: C:/PROGRA~1/BLUECF~1/ofuser-of5/run/cilindro61/constant/transportProperties.nu at line 16.

Which error do you get, if you use the following line?
Code:
nu [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 0.1; |
