Issues with particle::changeFace

anthonygay1812 · February 12, 2020, 19:20

Currently getting the error

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 
The search for an edge-connected face and tet-point failed.

    From function void Foam::particle::changeFace(Foam::label)
    in file particle/particle.C at line 320.

FOAM exiting

I'm trying to make a 1D sod shock simulation and solve it with a modified DSMC solver. I'm pretty new to OpenFoam and CFD as a whole and dont have much of an understanding about whats happening in the particle class to cause this.

Any insight is appreciated! Thank you!

I managed to find the issue. Once again being new to C++ in general and not knowing much about compilers, I was compiling everything as a super user. I accidentally ran a case as a super user, meaning that when I ran my all clean script as a regular user, files in my 0 directory weren't being deleted/overwritten.
