HI foamers,
i am using snappyHexMEsh to mesh a complex geometry. I am doing some test, varying the number of cells of the backgroud mesh, to see which discretization is better for my simulation. In same cases, when the meshing process is finished, checkMesh returns a nonManifoldPoints warning like the one below

Is there a way to avoid or to fix this issue? Does OF complain about that during the simulation? (at the moment i have not tried yet to run a simulation)

I am using OF 2.1.0, but i have also tried 1.7.1 and got the same error.

Best

Did OpenFOAM complain about nonManifoldPoint during the simulation?
I am also meshing a relatively complex geometry using sHM, and getting nonManifoldPoints warning?
