snappyhexmesh error in refinement phase
 
Refinement phase
----------------

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Point (3.0001 3.0001 0.43) is not inside the mesh or on a face or edge.
Bounding box of the mesh:(-0.003 -0.003 -0.003) (0.003 0.003 0.003)

From function static Foam::labelList Foam::refinementParameters::findCells(bool, const Foam::polyMesh&, const pointField&)
in file snappyHexMeshDriver/refinementParameters/refinementParameters.C at line 207.

FOAM exiting





Can someone please tell me why this is happening. Upon checking the stl file, none of the coordinate of the points is bigger than 0.003 in value

Hallo,

The error message itself is self explanatory. The point specified in your snappyHexMeshDict is out of the domain that you are trying to mesh --> A typical scaling error :D.

Change the point from (3.0001 3.0001 0.43) to (3e-3 3e-3 0.43e-3).

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Ricky
