Error message in TFM tutorial

Hello folks!
I have carefully and meticulously followed the instructions for this tutorial: " 3.2. Two Dimensional Fluid Bed, Two Fluid Model (TFM)"

Unfortunately, I got the following error message:

>>>>>-----------------------------------------------------------------
MESSAGE from open_files.f:374

Mesh generation will be performed and a mesh file will be saved.
<<<<<-----------------------------------------------------------------

<<<<<#################################################################


Fatal error reported on PE 0. The .LOG file may contain
additional information about the failure.

I was not able to find a solution on the internet.

Could you please help me out? :slight_smile:

It looks like you missed this step:

The IMAX/JMAX/KMAX keywords in the error message correspond to the number of cells in the mesh, as the help popup shows:
shot-2023-01-20_10-20-48

That’s my best guess since you didn’t include your files.

In general if you are looking for help here please include your project files - “Submit bug report” from the main menu creates a .ZIP file containing everything needed to run and debug your job.
