Title: Error in icoFoam

Description: When i execute icoFoam, It gives me this error. What should i do?

Create time

Create mesh for time = 0

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

Cannot find file "points" in directory "polyMesh" in times "0" down to constant

From function virtual Foam::IOobject Foam::fileOperation::findInstance(const Foam::IOobject&, Foam::scalar, const Foam::word&) const

in file global/fileOperations/fileOperation/fileOperation.C at line 871.

FOAM exiting

there is no mesh generated, use blockMesh command to generate mesh, and then try running icoFoam again.

Hello

This error shows up because there is no mesh generated before the icoFoam command was run.

Please run the "blockMesh" command first followed by "icoFoam".

Cheers !
