My 3D helicopter rotor has a max skewness of .24(ggi included). I've changed the cellZones name to movingCells. I have all my sets and zones, everything is in order. When I run the simulation this is the error I get

Any thoughts of what the problem is?

You might want to upload the main files of the case so we can take a peek but upon quick inspection there appears to be something wrong with your GGI interface - there's a large difference between the magnitudes of the weighting factors on the master and shadow patches.

What's the mesh resolution of the interface meshes on innerSlider and outerSlider patches? Are they similar?

My ggi is comprised of 4 blocks, using the arc function, I formed into a ring. The outer ring is the outsideSlider. The inner is the insideSlider. The top and bottom are not incorporated into the ggi, therefore; the program calls from the default faces. Could the design of my ggi be the problem? Thank you for your help.
