lillo763 is on a distinguished road
Hi all

I'm trying to create my first mesh but i found this error:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Face 25343 reduced to less than 3 points. Topological/cutting error A.
Old face: 2(2707 2964) new face: 2(2707 2964)

I suppose the problem is in the use of mergePatchPairs.

This is my blockMeshDict file

Code:
