I'm trying to run a modified propeller case in pimleDyMFoam,

The static case runs fine in both simpleFoam and pimleFoam but it keeps on stopping during the DyM run (Floating point exception)

I've tried everything I can think of but nothing seems to stop it,

Please help!

I've modified the case to update the mesh size (much finer mesh) but still getting the same issue at around 0.0017s.

Runs fine for about 600 iterations and then the courant number jumps for a steady 1 to a few hundred over a single time step.

I'm guess it's something to do with the moving mesh but have no idea how to find the issue

I've put the log up (had to remove the centre 4k lines or so but it still shows whats going on)

Reynolds number? Number of cells? Case configuration?

Try lowering the max courant number
