Could be an overflow issue, not sure. Can you post a minimal example that reproduces the issue?

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,
