Hi,

My main objective is to "create" a wing. I've already analysed different Naca profiles without any problems. The second step is to analyse a complete wing.
I'm actually generating points with a specific pg, then the .geo file is generated, then the mesh is created by gmsh and I finally apply the gmshToFoam command.

The generated mesh seams to be good but the checkMesh failed.

A simple geo sample:
Code:
xmin =  0;
xmax =  1;
ymin = -1;
ymax =  1;
zmin = -1;
zmax =  2;

box_lc = 0.5;
lc = 0.01;

Point(1) = { xmin, ymin, zmin, box_lc};
Point(2) = { xmin, ymax, zmin, box_lc};
Point(3) = { xmin, ymax, zmax, box_lc};
Point(4) = { xmin, ymin, zmax, box_lc};

Line(1) = {1, 2};
Line(2) = {2, 3};
Line(3) = {3, 4};
Line(4) = {4, 1};

Line Loop(1) = {1, 2, 3, 4};

Plane Surface(1) = {1};

tmp[] = Extrude {xmax-xmin, 0, 0} {
  Surface{1};
};
Delete { Volume{tmp[1]}; }
Delete { Surface{1}; }

// ----------
l = 0.2;
h = 0.2;
w = 0.5;

Point(101) = {xmin, -l, 0, lc};
Point(102) = {xmin,  l, 0, lc};
Point(103) = {xmin,  0, h, lc};

Point(201) = {xmin+w, -l, 0, lc};
Point(202) = {xmin+w,  l, 0, lc};
Point(203) = {xmin+w,  0, h, lc};

Line(101) = {101, 102};
Line(102) = {102, 103};
Line(103) = {103, 101};

Line(201) = {201, 202};
Line(202) = {202, 203};
Line(203) = {203, 201};

Line(301) = {101, 201};
Line(302) = {102, 202};
Line(303) = {103, 203};

Line Loop(2) = {101, 102, 103};
Line Loop(3) = {201, 202, 203};

Line Loop(11) = {301, 201, -302, -101};
Line Loop(12) = {302, 202, -303, -102};
Line Loop(13) = {303, 203, -301, -103};


Plane Surface(100) = {1, 2}; // Left
Plane Surface(101) = {3};    // Wing right

Plane Surface(201) = {11};
Plane Surface(202) = {12};
Plane Surface(203) = {13};

// Right = 26
// Front = 25
// Top   = 21
// Back  = 17
// Bot   = 13

Surface Loop(1000) = {26, 25, 21, 17, 13, 100, 201, 202, 203, 101};
Volume (1000) = {1000};

Physical Surface("front")   = {25};
Physical Surface("back")    = {17};
Physical Surface("top")     = {21};
Physical Surface("bottom")  = {13};
Physical Surface("left")    = {100};
Physical Surface("right")   = {26};

Physical Surface("foil")    = {201, 202, 203, 101};

Physical Volume("internal") = {1000};

What's wrong ? How can I solve this problem ?
