Hi Foamers,

Recently I have been working on a rather large 3D geometry. I tried multiple mesh configurations but I get the following error:

   Error in face pyramids: 617 faces pointing the wrong way!
--> FOAM Warning : 
    From function Foam::Module::tetMeshGenerator::tetMeshGenerator(const Foam::Time&)
    in file tetMesh/tetMeshGenerator/tetMeshGenerator.C at line 376
    Meshing process terminated!

I have tried cartesianMesh, tetMesh, pMesh, all give the same error. But I tried the exact same mesh settings for a 2D version of the same geometry and it gets meshed just fine. What does this error message mean and how can I resolve the issue? Any help would count and is much appreciated.

Thanks,
MJ
