Hi, I have noticed somthing wrong with my export to OpenFOAM from the mesh software Pointwise. When I create a mesh, even the simplest one (a rectangle with inlet outlet and walls), the simulation crashes giving me the following :

I don't understand why the simulation crashes, while if i do the same mesh with snappyhexmesh (nothing else changes), the calculation runs. I've linked the files so may someone could tell me what is going on ...

[SimonStar]

Do you have the boundarys right?
You need two empty Boundarys in a 2D-Mesh.

[Elboy]

Can you explain me why I need two ? I based my simulation on the ones from the tutorials, I let the files in attached so you might be sure if that's the mistake I made (I'm quite new to OpenFOAM)

[HPE]

imho, not enough info to reproduce or understand the issue.

Renumber the mesh and it will run:

renumberMesh -constant -overwrite
