Unhappy Floating point exception (yes...)

Hello world !

I’ve been keeping an eye on the forum since a few days, when a problem has stopped my current analysis of a F1 car in OpenFoam… It was all running fine until I got into trouble, and it is called Floating point exception ! As much as I could read here and with my own conclusions, it is a problem in solving the simulation, some forces starts to increase to infinite and there becomes the trouble. I suppose it is a bad config of the 0 folder, however this exercises are just a mere copy of a modified motorbike tutorial, to suit my goals. Also I have run this simulation before, using this configuration with 11M and 8M elements, and it all were fine…

I copy the error for you to see if it is possible to solve it (how can I?), then I write the details.

My exercise:
Simulate half a F1 car using kOmegaSST turbulence model, at 20m/s.
Boundary conditions:
-DF: Diffuser, a wall
-FW: Front wing, a wall
-RW: Rear wing, a wall
-MC: Monocoque, a wall
-HM: Helmet, a wall
-MS: Monkeyseat, a wall
-FS: Front suspension, a wall
-RS: Rear suspension, a wall
-FT: Front tire, rotating wall
-RT: Rear tire, rotating wall

blockMeshDict:
-Sym1: symmetric plane
-movwall: tarmarc, moving at constant velocity, 20m/s
-slipwall and slipwallFR: upper and front patches, slip walls.
-inlet and outlet

Mesh seems not to have any problem, except for some skew faces.

I attached my case files, the original one that worked perfectly, and the case A_1 and A_2. In case A_1 the mesh is a little bit more refined and the FW .stl file has changed (result: 11M elements). In the A_2 the mesh is even more refined, but the problem is the same (15M elements).

If more information is needed, please tell me.


I beg your pardon, I know this is a common issue, but I don't have a real clue on how to solve it, or why the case A works properly and the other 2 don't ... I've also added some screenshots for you to see the geometry and some post process.
