Hello. I am running a LES simulation on a simple square pipe geometry using PisoFoam as solver. I would like to initialize some turbulence setting some different initial values of the velocity fields in different regions of my geometry using SetFieldsDict.
Without using SetFields, the simulation works properly. If I use SetFields, I get this error, and I do not understand what I should do to solve the problem. Thank you in advance.

A Floating Point Exception often results from a division by zero. Without further information about your variables i'd guess that either the set velocity values is far to larger and instantly breaks the Courant number or one of the turbulence variables is far to small.
