Dear Heroic,

Probably this line in your checkMesh report is the most important:

Overall domain bounding box (-6535.35 -380 -2.98023e-05) (16000 8077.06 7933)

It says your domain is about 22.5 km in x-direction and similarly scaled (kilometers, not meters) in the other directions.

this can be fixed using:

Code:
transformPoints -scale "(0.001 0.001 0.001)"
I also think the large ratio in smallest to largest cell volume might indicate that you would need to work a bit more on your mesh. Than the other errors from checkMesh may be overcome as well.

Good luck,

regards,
Tom
