Hello,
I am trying to model a wind turbine using a case from openFOAM 3 which I am trying to adapt to openFOAM v10.

I've managed to generate a mesh, but now when running the solver (pimpleFOAM) It crashed when running 'decomposeParDict' with the following error message:

____________________________________________

FOAM aborting

I've heard people saying that sometime this happens as a result of the 'separationVector' being the wrong sign in the 'createPatchDict' however, when I look in that dictionary, there isn't even a separationVector value defined.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?
Thanks
