Hello,

i would like to do a rotor/stator calculation. Thus i created two meshes, converted them with fluent3dmeshtoFoam, checked the meshs and renumbered them.
Now i wanted to merge the meshes for the calculation. This fails. Here is the output:

FOAM aborting

What is inetersting about this is: The error occures when the interior faces seem to end. As could be seen from the output of fluent3dmeshtoFoam:

Has anybody experienced something like this before?

Hi,

well, i 'solved' the problem by not using fluent3DMeshToFoam. It doesn't work (at least in version 1.6). Using fluentMeshToFoam works.
