Hi everybody !
Yesterday, I started a new thread about the same subject but I'm afraid I wasn't clear enough. So let me remind you what is going wrong.
I have to compare results given by Fluent and OpenFoam in an industrial test case. I used fluentMeshtoFoam to use the same mesh as fluent to make my comparison possible.checkMesh told me that at this point everything is ok. I am using the simpleFoam solver since my flow is incompressible, steady state and turbulent. My inlet is a non-uniform velocity field (a swirl whose max velocity amounts to 12 m/s). Using paraView, I could check that my swirl is well modeled. When I turn the option "turbulence" off, Foam start the calculation without any trouble. But when "turbulence" is on, I get the following error message :

Create mesh for time = 0

Reading field p

Reading field U

Reading/calculating face flux field phi

Floating exception

It seems to be a convergence trouble... So,
I had a look on advices given in the Message Board about the same kind of problem, I change some parameters as shown on message but Foam keep on telling me the same message.
I hope that someone could help me because I haven't got idea anymore.

Thanks you !
Guillaume
