Hi,

well OpenFOAM offers a lot of interesting problems. Here is one, that seemed to appear more often, yet i haven't found a solution - also in the forum. Thus i try a new thread here, so maybe if i or someone else finds a solution it would help.

What i did was import a meshes with fluentMeshToFoam, checkMesh, renumberMesh and merge the meshes with mergeMeshes.
Now, i wanted to stitch the meshes together. This fails. The output is like this:

FOAM aborting

Well, this is not very pleasant. So what can i do? Any ideas for solutions?

Hi,

I am running stitchMesh recently, and got the same error message. I wonder if you have solved this problem.

Thank you!

Best,
