Hi.
I created mesh input file, and after running blockMesh, it produces points, faces and cells file. I can also use paraView to look at grids. They look fine but I have the following message below that can't get rid of. What does skewness mean? And how do I get rid of them?

Thanks.

Creating merge patch pairs

Adding point and face zones
Adding topology modifiers
--> FOAM Warning :
From function primitiveMesh::checkFaceSkewness(const bool report, labelHashSet* setPtr) const
in file meshes/primitiveMesh/primitiveMeshCheck.C at line 838
Large face skewness detected. Max skewness = 285.058 percent.
This may impair the quality of the result.
212 highly skew faces detected.
Failed 1 mesh geometry checks.
Failed some mesh checks.
