For some reason, I am continuing to receive an "Arithmetric exception" error message when I attempt to run any 2D simulation after importing from Pointwise. In order to find the culprit I have gone to the simplest case I could think of: a 2D simulation that mimics the 2DAirfoil tutorial but without the airfoil.

I used Pointwise to construct the parameters which consist of a box that was extruded by 0.05m and given a simple structured mesh, passing checkMesh with flying colours:

PHP Code:

Checking geometry...
    Overall domain bounding box (1 1 0) (101 101 0.05)

    Face pyramids OK.
    Max skewness = 1.01608e-13 OK.
    Coupled point location match (average 0) OK.

Mesh OK. 


The 0 and system folders are identical to the 2DAirfoil except for the removal of the wall.

I ran the code through gdb simpleFoam and it exploded within the first iteration:

I have no idea what could be wrong with this, as the 2DAirfoil example works perfectly and a similar "laminar flow through a straight pipe" Pointwise to OpenFoam tutorial also works with no issues.

I was unable to attach the pw file or constant folder due to space constraints

Thanks,
