Hello dear all,


I try to simulate tip leakage flow over a low pressure turbine blade for my thesis so that i set up my case in OpenFoam in order to proceed it. I completed my pre-processing steps (creating domain, mesh, initial files on OpenFoam etc.) and i used Pointwise to create my hybrid mesh. However, when i begin to run simulation i get the error, that is "floating point exception (core dumped)" all the time. I changed my mesh, reset the boundary conditions but still the same error for WEEKS. Could you please help me? I ve read many posts about the problem and they say there might be something which is divided by zero but i don't know what that is.

Ok. I have another problem now. I ve noticed that i must specify "patch" for the periodic boundaries instead of "cyclic" on Pointwise. Then, i must create a "createPatchDict" file in the "system" folder and run "createPatch" on terminal to define those periodic boundries properly. However, i get another error while doing that.
Here is my createPatchDict

Reading createPatchDict

FOAM exiting

I barely comprehended how createPatch command works but still don't know why i get that error. Actually i ve changed my mesh many times so that i'm really bored of doing same things again again. At the end, i got just stupid different error which i don't know what they are about. OpenFOAM's error handling is terrible, just few lines but no clear explanations

I solved the problem but do not know how to vanish that post. Or, i could help if someone has the same problem
