      By default, the initial cell count for CutCell mesh generation in Fluent Meshing is limited to 10M cells. This only concerns the initial grid, the final mesh can be of course bigger than that. The point of this is to protect the user from waiting too long before getting a mesh in case of wrong size definition. But for specific cases it can be necessary to go beyond that limit. This can be done by typing the following command : /mesh/cutcell/set/max-initial-cells XXX, XXX being the desired number of cells
