Can't run old simulation in MFiX 23.3 - IC_DES_FIT_TO_REGION deprecated

MFiX
#1

Hi all,

I updated the new version of MFiX and tried to run a simulation that could run in the older version. But I ran in to the following error. From my interpretation it says my whole IC region was defined wrong? Does anyone know what is causing it? Thanks! I attached my mfx and f files as well. Also the way how I submitted the job was
build_mfixsolver --batch --dmp

mpirun -np 28 ./mfixsolver -f td_jelly_roll.mfx NODESI=4 NODESJ=7

Not sure if the way how I submitted the job caused the problem.

The IC_DES_FIT_TO_REGION keyword has been deprecated and removed from MFiX. If you load the case in the MFiX GUI, the keyword will automatically be removed from the file. If you are not a GUI user, open the file in an editor and simply delete line 209.
