hello,
I am trying to use snappyHexMesh with a complex geometry,
it has really small volumes, in some parts (see figures attached).
the surface mesh i prepeared with salome from the STEP file.
the background mesh i am creating it with blockMesh function,
my issue is that when doing snappy, it gets a lot of illegal faces in the morphing phase (only faces with face pyramid volume < 1e-13: 30842824 ), so snappy keeps trying to solve this problem and the morphing phase iterations begins, until the morph iteration 10 the illegal faces stay the same, and after, the face with face pyramid volume < 1e-13 begins to decrease, other errors begins to appear .... ( first non-orthogonality > 65 degrees that increas in number until morph 22 then faces with face-decomposition tet quality < 1e-15 and faces with face twist < 0.02 appears). after this i beging getting foam warnings:

From function static Foam::vectorField Foam::snappySnapDriver::calcNearestSurface(const Foam::meshRefinement&, const scalarField&, const indirectPrimitivePatch&, Foam::pointField&, Foam::vectorField&)
    in file snappyHexMeshDriver/snappySnapDriver.C at line 1638

several times each morph iteration and at the end i finish with:

    non-orthogonality > 65  degrees                        : 8904
    faces with face pyramid volume < 1e-13                 : 30833798
    faces with face-decomposition tet quality < 1e-15      : 41
    faces with concavity > 80  degrees                     : 3
    faces with skewness > 4   (internal) or 20  (boundary) : 1
    faces with interpolation weights (0..1)  < 0.05        : 1
    faces with volume ratio of neighbour cells < 0.01      : 0
    faces with face twist < 0.02                           : 5
    faces on cells with determinant < 0.001                : 4
Finished meshing with 30842757 illegal faces (concave, zero area or negative cell pyramid volume)

I was looking any guideline or troubleshooting to read so i can improve my snappydict or my background mesh, as i have found several tutorials for snappy but where this problem does not show.
I do not know where to beging as there is so much features in snappy, and as it takes some time to run (17000secs) I can not change easyly the parameters and re run it...
I am attaching the blockMeshDict and also the snnapy and the log.snappy if it helps.
i also attach the photos of the surface mesh , how it looks inside, and also the edges i capture from the surfaceFeatureExtract (i can say that it is extracting the correct edges....)

best regards,
franco
