Hello,


My version of OpenFoam is 4.1.


I have searched alot on this forum and almost everywhere else. No one even encountered this error. Probably, I am doing a very stupid mistake.



I am using topoSetDict to make a faceSet from a patch, and then I want to make cellSet using that faceSet.


My topoSetDict file is given below:

actions
(
    {
        name    hot1;
        type    faceSet;
        action  new;
        source  patchToFace;
        sourceInfo
        {
            name "hotFace";
        }
    }
     
// Select based on faceSet
    {
        name    hotcell;
        type    cellSet;
        action  new;
        source  faceToCell;
        sourceInfo
        {
            set hot1;             // Name of faceSet

            //option neighbour; // cell with neighbour in faceSet
            //option owner;     //  ,,       owner
            option any;         // cell with any face in faceSet
            //option all;       // cell with all faces in faceSet
        } 
    }

the log file shows that it has created faceSet and cellSet,

Create time

Create polyMesh for time = 0

Reading topoSetDict

Time = 0
    mesh not changed.
Created faceSet hot1
    Applying source patchToFace
    Adding all faces of patch hotFace ...
    Found matching patch hotFace with 253 faces.
    faceSet hot1 now size 253
Created cellSet hotcell
    Applying source faceToCell
    Adding cells according to faceSet hot1 ...
    cellSet hotcell now size 253
End

but I am getting the following error:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 
Illegal content 8200 of set:hotcell of type cellSet

I don't know where I did mistake. I would be highly thankful if someone can help me out in this.


Thank you

Hi,

It seems that the problem is in the description of fvOptions. Could you post content of the corresponding file?

[Raza Javed]

Thank you so much for your reply. I am attaching my fvOptions file below for your reference.

heatSource
{
    type            scalarSemiImplicitSource;
    active          true;
 
    scalarSemiImplicitSourceCoeffs
    {
        selectionMode   cellSet; // all, cellSet, cellZone, points
        //cellZone        hot;        
        cellSet         hotcell;
        volumeMode      absolute; // absolute;
        injectionRateSuSp
        {
            h     (2600 0);
        }
    }
}

OK. Did you modify mesh and did not recreate cell set files?
