Can anyone help me resolve this error message?

Hello everyone.

I'm working on a project trying to simulate an IC engine. I'm using the morphing tool to simulate the displacement of the piston and the valves.

However when running the simulation I get this error message:

Error.png

Does anyone know what might be causing this or how I can solve it?

Thank you in advance.

This is caused when your morph smashes cells and flips them inside out. You should be able to create a threshold of volume < 0 and find where they all are.

You need to modify your mesh or morphing or timestep so that this doesn't happen.
