When i was trying to run simpleFoam i got the next error:

No MRF models present

No finite volume options present

Starting time loop

streamLine streamLines:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: keyword trackForward is undefined in dictionary "C:/Users/usuario/Desktop/openfoam_rans/system/controlDict.functions.streamLines"

The trackForward keyword was discontinued from OpenFOAM v1912 onwards, see OpenFOAM-v1912/src/functionObjects/field/streamLine/streamLine.H. In the foundation version, it was supported till v8 and discontinued from v9 onwards.

You can try introducing the keyword in system/streamLines. In case it doesn't work, you might need to update OpenFOAM accordingly to get rid of this error.
