Hello everybody,

I used Pointwise 18.1 to generate a hybrid mesh for a solar updraft tower. I have 5 blocks, and checkMesh shows that everything is ok. After running renumberMesh -overwrite, the faces, neighbour, owner, and points files have NUL in all lines. Do you know what could be the reason, and how to solve it?

Here is my controlDict file

Hello again,

This is solved. The problem is that the writeFormat is set to binary, so I could run in my pc, but then when I tried to run in a cluster, I got some errors.

Now I have changed to ascii, and it is ok.
