Hello.

I have this simple setup with snappyHexMesh. Snappy fails silently before starting snapping. I'm afraid it might also be a system issue (I work on Windows subsystem for Linux).

These are the few last lines from snappy output:

Code:
Checking initial mesh ...
Checking faces in error :
    non-orthogonality > 65  degrees                        : 0
    faces with face pyramid volume < 1e-15                 : 0
    faces with face-decomposition tet quality < 1e-15      : 0
    faces with concavity > 80  degrees                     : 0
    faces with skewness > 4   (internal) or 20  (boundary) : 0
    faces with interpolation weights (0..1)  < 0.05        : 0
    faces with volume ratio of neighbour cells < 0.01      : 0
    faces with face twist < 0.02                           : 0
    faces on cells with determinant < 0.001                : 0
Detected 0 illegal faces (concave, zero area or negative cell pyramid volume)
Checked initial mesh in = 0.11 s


Smoothing patch points ...
Smoothing iteration 0
Found 146 non-manifold point(s).

Scaling iteration 0
Moving mesh using displacement scaling : min:1  max:1

Could someone please run the attached case and see if it works? I have run out of ideas for debugging this one.

Thanks!

I figured it out.
There's nothing wrong with geometry, blockMesh, snappyHexMesh or anything else.

In controlDict there was

HTML Code:
deltaT 0;
I have no idea where this number came from but it caused my strange non-error.
