Simple plane sample not working

I don't get it. When I use the "basePoint" / "normal" to specify a plane, it fails silently whenever the Y-coordinate of "normal" is zero. That is, it runs, reports all the times, and completes, but there are no files in the surfaces/[time]/ directories. Here's my sampleDict:
setFormat raw; surfaceFormat raw; interpolationScheme cellPointFace; fields ( U ); sets ( ); surfaces ( newPlane { type plane; basePoint (5 2.5 5); normalVector (0 0 1); interpolate true; triangulate true; } ); This produces no output. If I change the normalVector to: normalVector (0 0.00001 1); it succeeds. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? (OpenFOAM 1.5-dev) |

I don't know if the sourceforge svn version has this, do you experience the same problem in 1.6.x? |

That's the problem! Thanks Mark. I tried it in 1.6 and it works fine. So when I'm using 1.5-dev I'll just misalign the plane ever so slightly.
