Missing delimiter - error

Post by koncek »

Hi,
my problem is that in output log i get the error:

Code: Select all

! Missing delimiter (. inserted).
<to be read again> 
                   {
l.45 	F_d = 	\left{
                    \begin{array}{ l l }
and i don't know what do about it. Can anyone help me with this s**t?

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
        \label{eq:zastepczy}
        F_d =   \left{ \begin{array}{ l l }
                                C_{sa}\cdot \left (v+v_g \right ) & \quad \left (v+v_g \right )\cdot v > 0 \\
                                0 & \quad \left (v+v_g \right )\cdot v < 0 \\
                        \end{array}
                \right.
\end{equation}
i know there was many topics like mine, but i checked some of them and it didn't help me solve my problem...
thanks,
koncek
