I'm posting this to Solving because I think it's a problem with Solver/Mesh interaction. Please let me know if its not the right place for it.

I have a 2D simulation of flow over a half cylinder. It works perfectly until I use refineMesh on it. After using refineMesh, checkMesh reports:

Code:
 
***Number of edges not aligned with or perpendicular to non-empty directions: 1374
  <<Writing 2061 points on non-aligned edges to set nonAlignedEdges
and if I try to run the simulation it gives the error:

Code:
Starting time loop

Time = 1

Floating point exception (core dumped)
The refinement goes across the bottom of the domain from the inlet to the outlet. If I reduce the refinement to be only 1 radius upstream and downstream of the cylinder I don't get the errors.

Here is my case file:

http://www.filedropper.com/matlabmesh

The mesh was created in the GMSH format by a MatLab code that I wrote. The refined mesh is in the 1 folder.

Any ideas?
