Hi all,
I'm a Graduate student using openfoam for my research, I've been using openfoam220 for over a year and just switched to openfoam230.

the mapFields utilities has been revamped.

I am trying to map to a refined mesh but it has been giving me some serious issues in openfoam230

i first tried mapFields ../(directory) -consistent
which worked well with openfoam220.
The mapped fields produced were garbage and the sim crashed immediately.

I then did some digging online and found out that cellVolumeWeight option became standard in 230 so I tried

mapFields ../(directory) -consistent -mapMethod mapNearest

this gave me nicely mapped fields for p T and U but when I try to run the solver rhoCentralFoam I get this error almost instantly:

Floating point exception (core dumped)

If i map the fields in an older version of openfoam transfer the file to another computer and then run the file on a newer version it works fine.

any suggestions ?

how does one successful map consistent fields in the new version openfoam230?
