[sparta-users] Issue with "fix emit/face/file" command

[Sachin N. <sac...@ut...>]

Hi SPARTA users,

I am using the "fix emit/face/file" command to emit particles inside the
domain. My code works perfectly for 145 x 145 mesh points on the 'emit'
face but shows an error when I increase my number of mesh points to 146 x
146. The error message is as shown:

ERROR on proc 0: Misformatted section in inflow file
(../fix_emit_face_file.cpp:625)

I have successfully run my code for various numbers of mesh points less
than 145 in each direction. But when the number of cells goes beyond 145 I
face the above error every time. Is there any restriction on the maximum
number of cells we can use to emit particles using the "fix emit/face/file"
command?

Thanks and Best Regards,
