hello, I am new here and have a problem when using snappyHexMesh to generate mesh.

the terminal shows ''Point (1.93 3.731 1.243) is not inside the mesh or on a face or edge. Bounding box of the mesh0 0 1.05) (50 50 1.7).''

however, while I change the locationInMesh many times, this problem still exists.

Any help is appreciated !!!

The solutions which is helped to me...
When you define the background mesh with blockMeshDict you need to change the definition in such a way that first four points have Xmin coordinate and other four points have Xmax coordinate:

My working example:
vertices
(
(-15 55 -140)
(-15 105 -140)
(-15 105 -90)
(-15 55 -90)

(35 55 -140)
(35 105 -140)
(35 105 -90)
(35 55 -90)
);

blocks
(
hex (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7) (20 20 20) simpleGrading (1 1 1)
);

As you see we start from (Xmin, Ymin, Zmin), then move to (Xmin, Ymax, Zmin), then to (Xmin, Ymax, Zmax) the to (Xmin, Ymin, Zmax)
This steps repeat for Xmax plane.
I think that will work for your case. Try this algorithm )

Well, thank you for reply! I will try later~~~

Hi Eric,

I am not sure if you found a solution to your problem.

In case you didnt you can try the following :

Delete the blockMesh related files and regenerate the block mesh

I am not sure if your blockfile definition is correct.

The definition needs to be in cyclic form :

xmin ymin zmin
xmax ymin zmin
xmax ymax zmin
xmin ymax zmin
xmin ymin zmax
xmax ymin zmax
xmax ymax zmax
xmin ymax zmax
