Dear folks,

I have the following problem using ICEM as a mesher. I am meshed up a bearing chamber with several different faces and two different bodies which are representing different volumes with different media (air, oil). The problem is this error-message coming out when trying to convert (fluentMeshToFoam XXX.msh) the net into OpenFOAM. I donīt know what to do or what is wrong - where lies the problem to solve?? This is the error-message:

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
