Wedge Patch '*' is not planer and error when pimpleFoam
 

Hello, recently I see the duct fan tutorials in youtube https://youtu.be/qTYAr8jgViM

I found it is very interesting and I want to use the same setting with tutorials but different mesh and geometry

I used terminal command gmsh to create mesh and gmshToFoam to convert it into openFoam format.

When I was doing gmshToFoam. I faced the first error. I attached txt file(Error when gmshToFoam.txt) that is copy of error text
Attachment 49740

But I think it is a minor problem so, I continue anyway.

I modify boundary file in my case and execute createBaffles command.

I faced long error. I attached this error.(Error when createBaffles.txt)

I search about this kind of error and I think those error messages are not very serious. I think I can ignore and proceed to computation.

So, I execute pimpleFoam command anyway. At first my terminal showed long error message just like the one that when I execute createBaffles command.

But it run about a few seconds and crashed.

I really need your help and I really appreciate your help.

Thank you

Ps. I am using Gmsh 12.12.0, openFoam 4.0 and ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I did some mesh check with checkMesh command.

I think the mesh was a problem.

But, I don't think it is the only one.

Anyway, I will keep trying.

Thank You!

hello jwh107
I had simular problems and I could solve it by changing in controlDict the default writePrecision of 6 to 10 or higher.
hope this helps
