Hi all...

I'm trying to run a mesh using blockMesh but I get always the same error, if you guys know what the problem is, let me know it, I appreciate it so much

this is mesh file

and this is the error and the checkMesh what I always get. I've checked the mesh but I didn't catch the error.

Hi,

Maybe there's an error in the blockMesh you've posted as I got following error while creating a mesh with the text you've posted:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 
face 1 in patch 4 does not have neighbour cell face: 4(1 5 6 6)
