Hello,

I am in the process of doing a mesh refinement over a 2D aerofoil with leading edge cylinder. I have just tried my next refinement iteration and this error has popped up. I am not sure what it means, any ideas? Thanks

There are some limits on surface cell count, so you may have hit that.

Thanks Rob, is there a way to see surface cell count and what is the limit? I'm only at 500000 elements.

If you're refining from 500k elements then you may well have hit a limit. It's mainly there to prevent the mesher running away and knocking the computer over - it used to be around 100k but from what you're saying has been increased.
