Hey everyone!

I edited the splashPanel tutorial in the reactingParcelFoam solver to include a cone nozzle injection. The error I face (and have also faced with other langragian solvers like MPPICFoam) is that most parcel starting positions in the domain throw in the following

 Solving 3-D cloud reactingCloud1
 
 
 --> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
 Cannot find parcel injection cell. Parcel position = (0.0021 0.006343463813 -0.001374402857)

I tried tweaking values left, right and centre. Such tweaking helped me for a previous test set up, where one of those tweaks didn't generate an error. But a lot of time has been devoted to something where I could be making an obvious mistake.

Quick answer: The position of the particle being injected was planned to be placed outside of the mesh, just right below Z=0.

You need to properly understand how the cone is defined, because it apparently it has a too wide radius at the base of the cone, which results in getting outside of the geometry.
