im very new to Openfoam and am trying to learn it. I want to run a flat plate case to compare to blasius soln. I setup the mesh and initial conditions and geometry (according to my understanding :P)

im trying to run the flat plate case using icoFoam for 1000 iterations with a deltaT of 0.01, so total 10 secs.
so my simulation runs until 1.66 secs i.e. 166 iterations. then at 1.67 i get the following error and dump msg.. ive included the msg frm 1.66 secs for ref if needed..

Time = 1.66

I apologize if its something stupid. like i mentioned in my post, im very new and trying to learn on my own... im not completely confident about my case setup also.

Thanks a lot and i appreciate your time...

Hi,

Try uploading your case to take a look at.
