Hi Costas
I just try to create a Telemac2d steering file directly starting from a geometry file with the dictionary of the latest version (v7p2) and it works for me.
I use the version 1.3.0-RC12 of fudaa.
I also tried with the trunk version and it doesn't work...
I know there is some adaptation planned in the dictionary in order to adapt it for the editor of Salome-Hydro (EFICAS). Probably the trunk has already been changed...
Nevertheless, except if you want to use a new keyword, you could link to a previous dictionary version, generate your steering file and run the case with the trunk version...
Hope this helps
