Hi there,

I am a new openFoam user and am having trouble with fluent3DMeshToFoam

The mesh converts OK, but with a warning:

--> FOAM Warning :
From function boundBox::boundBox(const pointField& points)
in file meshes/boundBox/boundBox.C at line 52
cannot find bounding box for zero sized pointFieldreturning zero

And then when I run checkMesh I get a problem with face orientation:

***Error in face pyramids: 38 faces are incorrectly oriented.
<<Writing 38 faces with incorrect orientation to set wrongOrientedFaces

My grid does include internal walls (split in ICEM) however I have been able to import other grids with internal walls just fine. Also the face numbers in wrongOrientedFaces don't appear to be associated with these patches.

A mesh quality check in ICEM doesn't show any problems and the simulation runs fine in CFX11.

Any advice?

Cheers,
Steve
