Hi ztdep .... strange name :o)

did you check by yourself if there is the points file in constant/polymesh ?

if not, are you sure you created your mesh correctly (blockMesh command) ?

note that if you follow the userguide step by step, it should work correctly.

Regards,

Cedric

you first need to set up the mesh using blockMesh; e.g.:
blockMesh <root> <case>
There should also a possibility doig this directly in FoamX.
