i'm trying to mesh a valve with snappy but everytime the result is this:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 
cell 236 of level 1 does not seem to have 8 points of equal or lower level

Aborted (core dumped)

The resulting mesh still works and checkMesh says that mesh is OK but i don't understand the meaning of that error.

This are my code i've tryed to change every single parameter but nothing changes the result.
if someone can help me i would be very pleased because i'm going crazy


These are snappydict and qualitydict Meshing.zip

Dear Gianluca
I think the problem is with your background mesh or the stl file, attach the stl and blockMeshdict. there might be some disorder in blocks arrangement.
