Welcome Foamers

I spent all day on searching solutions for this error. I use porousSimpleFoam and I took mesh from Fluent. look's like a simple problem - the one input one output plus the porous zone. after 20 iterations the simulation breaks down..

I would ask for any suggestions what might be wrong where I made a mistake?

thanks for reply,

Hi Sebaj,

wrong dimensions I suppose. Use

transformPoints -scale "(0.001 0.001 0.001)"

and give it another try...

Good luck

Martin

thanks Martin!

It's works
