Dear All,

I am facing an issue with the topoSetDict file, as I currently don't know how to edit properly this file.
It is shown below:

    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    location    "system";
    object      topoSetDict;
}

    {
        name    c0;
        type    cellSet;
        action  new;
        source  boxToCell;
        sourceInfo
        {
            box (-20 -15 -0.4) (13 0 5);
        }
    }
);

// ************************************************************************* //

When I try to type this command:

$ topoSet -dict system/topoSetDict.1

I get this error:

Reading topoSetDict

What is wrong ?

Thank you all for any help you might be able to provide,

From the error message, I conclude that topoSet is unable to find the topoSetDict.1 you specified. Either the path or the filename are incorrect. I have to admit, I only use the file standard filename topoSetDict in the system folder. Consequently, I don't need the -dict option.

@ingraban Thank you for your response.

It helped me because I made a really banal mistake by ignoring the real name of the TopoSet file, which was "topoSetDict.1.1", because I didn't see the extension file.
I use a text editor which sometimes implies changes in the extension file, e.g. add a number to my file's name.

Thank you a lot !!
