One of your (patch)fields has become too big for
your precision.

Either you use 'floatTransfer' in which case your range is single precision +-1E37 or your number is outside double precision +-1E300.

Check what you expect, disable floatTransfer if necessary - though usually it is just a sign of a simulation diverging.

Hi Mattijis, Thanks for the
 

Hi Mattijis,

Thanks for the input. It was a case of divergence...
