Hi,

I'm having problems meshing a fairly complicated axisymmetric nozzle. I've had no problems in the past with axisymmetric meshes, but this one is causing problems. The error is as follows:

The problem goes away if I replace the 'arcs' with lines - i.e. the arcs put in for rotation about the axis (not the arcs that define the shape of the geometry!).

I've checked, the interpolation points all seem in order. I don't think its any problem with 'crazy' surfaces bounded by 2 splines and 2 arcs, as I've used a very similar geometry before and not had any problems.

The obvious question is: 'do I actually need to make them arcs?'. It is only 5 degrees, would it make any difference to the solution if they were just lines?

Otherwise, does anyone have an idea what the problem is? Thanks very much for any help!

I've included the blockMeshDict.fail that doesn't work and the blockMeshDict.yay that works without arcs

ps. I realise I didn't need to define 'line a b'... I was young and crazy!
