Error when displaying a mesh file

September 22, 2006, 09:23

hi, I am trying to do one of fluent's tutorial concerning a turbulent flow past a circular cylinder. I got the mesh file from Fluent's official website but when I try to display the grid I get the following message from Fluent:

Floating point error:divide by zero

That is the same for all the mesh file I want to read.

That would be great if anyone could help me, I really need it thank you, Gaetan

I have had that problem as well a year ago. From within Display / Options/ Change the Hidden Surface Method back and forth BEFORE rendering the first plot. Also a update of your graphics driver may help.
