Entry 'U' not found in dictionary ""

From OpenFOAMWiki

Hello all, I have recently started to learn OF. I have made a geometry using topoSet and the conditions using changeDictionary. The solver is porousSimpleFoam.

when I run Allrun, the following error appears:


Create time Create mesh for time = 0

SIMPLE: no convergence criteria found. Calculations will run for 10 steps.

Any help would be appreciable Regards
