i'm running a propeller simulation using pimpledymfoam.below are my steps:
1.I create two mesh name rotor and body,and i use fluent3DMeshToFoam separately to convert them to openfoam.
2.then i use mergeMeshes to combing the two meshes.
3.I copy the new mesh to a new folder ,and use splitMeshToRegions -makeCellZones -overwrite to create a cell zone.
Until now ,it all seems well,i can use the checkMesh command.
Then after edit the polyMesh/boundary to add AMI patches ,the i use checkMesh:

I really appreciate someone can help me out !THANKS

Hi,

For some reason your cyclicAMI patches descriptions miss ; at certain line ends. For example:

OUTTER
{
type cyclicAMI;
nFaces 27322;
startFace 2470870;
matchTolerance 0.0001
neighbourPatch INNER
transform noOrdering
}

should be

OUTTER
{
type cyclicAMI;
nFaces 27322;
startFace 2470870;
matchTolerance 0.0001;
neighbourPatch INNER;
transform noOrdering;
}

Do not know why this happens.

Thanyou very much for your reply.I add ; as you said.But the same error happens again.i have cheked boundary file,there is not any 89 line and i think brackets are ok. Do you have any idea of what the problem is.Best regard!

Did you add ; to all cyclicAMI dictionaries or just one I have mentioned? Can you post your new boundary file (in CODE tag)?
