Hi,

This means that the number of divisions that you have specified for an edge (in this case the edge connecting vertices 4 & 7) are different in different blocks.

Note that the block numbering in blockMesh/OpenFOAM starts from 0 and not 1.

So, in the two blocks that have you have defined that have the edge made up by vertices 4 & 7, one has 10 divisions and the other has 20 divisions.

Correct that to be consistent and that problem will be solved.

Cheers,
Antimony
