Hi, I was able to solve this by removing the element face count column. I now run into the following issue shown below. I was able to find the subroutine spec_bis_conn where this error occurs. I believe this has to do with the periodic faces I have set up. My question is whether the periodic faces need to be continuous: For example, the geometry is similar to fluid flow over a flat plate on both sides. The fluid is periodic, but separated by the solid thickness (this is a Conj HT problem). Essentially there is a "gap" in the periodic fluid portion if you can imagine. I saw a note in the routine that says something like "ensure that all graphs are connected", not sure if this is what it means. I tried making the fluid periodic on only one side of the plate and it worked, however when I make the other side (bottom of the plate) periodic with itself I get the following error. Any thoughts?

From the error, it seems to think that face 3 of element 1 is Periodic, and then returns this error because of course it is not. I have attached the rea. I am not sure what the issue is here, and why it is not recognizing face 1 as periodic (as you will see in the rea, Elem 1 face 1 is periodic with elem 6 face 3). This error occurs at the first element. The values in the error message all seem to come from the periodic condition I have specified, but it is almost as if they are not in the correct order in the rea.

From my understanding: " P 1 1.00 6.00000 3.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 " states that element 1 face 1 is periodic with element 6 face 3.

Thanks for any help with this, Michael M. _______________________________________________ Nek5000-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/nek5000-users
