The model's coordinates differ from those of the actual object.

Hi, guys.
I find the coordinates of my model is different. In the output file, it shows
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Area projection in the x-plane = 0 m, y-plane = 0 m.
Max. coordinate in the x-direction = -1e+10 m, y-direction = -1e+10 m.
Min coordinate in the x-direction = 1e+10 m, y-direction = 1e+10 m.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But it's not my real model coordinate. I have checked my mesh, it goes well. So Why does this happen, and how can I solve it?
Thanks for any help!

It looks like for some reason SU2 is reporting the default values and does not update it with the actual values. Does your simulation run fine?

The simulation results appear promising. When I set the "MARKER_MONITORING" to cover the entire model surface, the coordinates match those of my actual model.
It appears that this setting has a significant impact; should I apply it to all surfaces?
