Hi

I made a simulation with a background mesh of 2m x 0.5m x 0.5 m, based on the libraries "make fish swim". It seem to work, so far.
Since I intended to have a 20m long mesh, I scale the mesh: transformPoints '(10 10 10)', but the simulation stops after a few seconds with the message:

Code:
GAMG:  Solving for pcorr, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 9.54474e-07, No Iterations 19
time step continuity errors : sum local = 1.80262e-10, global = 1.86461e-11, cumulative = 1.86461e-11
PIMPLE: iteration 1
smoothSolver:  Solving for Ux, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 0.0753653, No Iterations 2
smoothSolver:  Solving for Uy, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 0.0399224, No Iterations 2
smoothSolver:  Solving for Uz, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 0.0908901, No Iterations 2
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?
thanks in advance
