mesh grading problem with multiple blocks
 

Hi!
When I'm trying to mesh a part of cylinder, made out of 3 blocks, I've found that when I try to have some grading in direction of symmetry axis, there's error message like:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
face 451 area does not match neighbour 1051 by 11.4833% -- possible face ordering problem.
... etc.

With simple grading (1) everything is ok (blockMesh and checkMesh).
Interestingly though the mesh is generated and can be graded in all directions without a problem if central block is omitted (geometry of only 2 blocks - it's like a cylinder with a hole inside). The same holds true also if only the central block is meshed.
Any suggestions how can I make graded mesh on all 3 blocks?

Another question: what's the required precision when defining geometry (e.g. when using trigonometric functions)

With best regards!

P.S.: my blockMeshDict is pasted below, now it's not working, but if you replace '5' with '1' in simpleGrading specifications, it works.
