hi everyone

I tried simulating a compressor fan using rhoPimpleDyMFoam solver with cyclicAMI similar to the propeller case in tutorials
compressor model was taken from grabCAD and meshed using snappyHexMesh.
My simulation stops after few iterations showing this

Code:
solidBodyMotionFunctions::rotatingMotion::transformation(): Time = 0.00456585764 transformation: ((0 0 0) (0.9999348537 (0 0.01141439623 0)))
AMI: Creating addressing and weights between 97715 source faces and 98899 target faces
AMI: Patch source sum(weights) min/max/average = 0.9465117834, 1.489766105, 1.00385493
AMI: Patch target sum(weights) min/max/average = 0, 1.237839515, 0.9988507935

- selected 969022 cell(s) with volume 106.5179144
I decreased the no. of layers as suggested by some in other related threads , but I'm unable to get rid of the problem. Running checkMesh shows

Code:
Create time

Create polyMesh for time = 0

Time = 0

Please help me understand what the problem is and how to solve it. snappyHexMeshDict file is attached.

Thanks
