CFD Online Discussion Forums - Help Troubleshooting simpleFoam problem on Harpoon made mesh

Hello everyone,

Sorry to bother everyone with this, but lately I have been a little clueless as to how to troubleshoot this bug I have been having. Long story short I am running a Mesh made on harpoon with the simpleFoam solver for a car model on a fedora 9 32-bit box.

unfortunately whenever I try to run the problem I get the following message

new cannot satisfy memory request.
This does not necessarily mean you have run out of virtual memory.
It could be due to a stack violation caused by e.g. bad use of pointers or an out of date shared library
Aborted

and whenever I try to run it in parallel(2,3 and 4 processors) I get a more elaborate message:

Starting time loop

Time = 1

new cannot satisfy memory request.
This does not necessarily mean you have run out of virtual memory.
It could be due to a stack violation caused by e.g. bad use of pointers or an out of date shared library

mpirun noticed that job rank 0 with PID 754 on node openfoam01 exited on signal 6 (Aborted).
2 additional processes aborted (not shown)

So, I thought that maybe the problem would be with the glibc libraries, so I downloaded the rpm packages of the libraries but that didn't do any good. I really am at my wits end on this one, any help would be very much appreciated.

regards
