this is the error I am getting:

Note: Separating interior zone 6 into zones 6 and 1.
interior-6 -> interior-6 (6) and interior-6:001 (1)
Cell Centroid is xc 1.023757 yc 0.499622 zc 0.427138
WARNING: cell 7437 of thread 5 has NULL face pointer 3.Error: Build_Grid: grid error.
Clearing partially read grid.

Error: Null Domain Pointer

The mesh was created in Pointwise, and we have used it for all our case files so far, never got that problem. Can anyone suggest a solution, or how to find out what the problem is. This is really an emergency, since I am supposed to have it done by tomorrow....any help is appreciated.

HI

Daisy

This error pops up when your mesh file is corrupted or some domain is not having volume mesh or some cells lose the face information or maybe a very highly skewed element in the mesh is being read.
There would be any of these issues however as you mentioned you have used this mesh for prior cases. What i would suggest you is read this file in Tgrid and do a Grid check. And maybe try to look at the cross section so you will find all your zones are meshed.

Ohh

Check for zone id 5 in tgrid as error mentions problem in Thread 5 and to my knowledge it has a degenerated cell there.
