Dear all,

I am trying to use the sample utility to get a cross section of my 3D case. Here is my sampleDict:

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    object      sampleDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

setFormat raw;

surfaceFormat vtk;

formatOptions { }

interpolationScheme cellPoint;

fields ( p U );

sets ( );

surfaces
(
    xNormal
    {
        type            plane;
        basePoint       (0 0 0);
        normalVector    (1 0 0);
        interpolate     true;
    }
);

// *********************************************************************** //

It has been working fine on my PC until recently. The process keeps getting 'Killed' most likely due to insufficient memory. But I am not sure why it worked fine earlier though...

So, I tried running it in a HPC and it resulted in the following error:

Hi,


I'm having the exactly same error when sampling a surface. Did you find any solution?


Thanks,

I didn't manage to find a solution. Thankfully, the HPC people had compiled OpenFOAM v3.0 which worked fine. I believe that there are some incompatibilities with my compilation of OpenFOAM v2.3 and the libraries in the HPC but I cannot be too sure.

Thanks for your reply. As I am also using OF 2.3.1 I guess it should be a problem related to the old version.
