Dear all,


i am currently trying to convert ICEM generated large hexahedral meshes (170 mio cells; exported in ASCII) to openFOAM via fluent3DMeshToFoam on openFOAM v7. When i try so fluent3DMeshToFoam crashes at the save mesh step with the error message below.



As a workaround i tried to split my mesh into 3 smaller parts in order to merge them after the conversion with fluent3DMeshToFoam.
For all of these 3 parts of the mesh, the conversion via fluent3DMeshToFoam is successfull and checkMeshes also provides good results.
Now when i try to merge them in any possibility (1&2; 1&3; 2&3) mergeMesh crashes with the same error output as in the fluent3DMeshToFoam of the large mesh.
Below you can see an extract of the log-file from mergeMeshes.


Since this is a time sensitive matter for my work, Any help would be very appreciated, thanks!

Dear Max:
Have you got any idea about it？I come up with nearly the same problem.

Yes, for me the solution was a new openfoam compilation with setting:
$WM_LABEL_SIZE in the /etc/bashrc file to be 64.


This way the large meshes could be handled.
