[Nek5000-users] Error Loading .re2 Mesh

[nek5000-users at lists.mcs.anl.gov]

Hello,
I've created a mesh using Cubit 15.0 with HEX27 elements. The Jacobian 
for these elements are all positive and by all appearances it is a 
conformal mesh (no unmerged vertices, surfaces, or curves and it imports 
correctly in both Cubit and VisIt). I was able to convert the mesh from 
Exodus format (.exo) to the .re2 format using the "exo2nek" script and 
created a map file (.ma2) using the "genmap" script.

However, when I try to use this mesh in Nek5000, it gives the following 
errors (found in the logfile):



  element load imbalance:            0         612         612
  done :: mapping   0.63601     sec


   ERROR 2 READING MESH DATA NEAR ELEMENT           6
   ABORTING IN ROUTINE RDMESH.

an error occured: dying ...



I cannot tell why it is crashing. My mesh is a 3D mesh with a total of 
19584 elements, with all of them being flow elements. I specified in the 
.rea file the following:



  **MESH DATA**
         19584  3           19584     NELT,NDIM,NELV



Is this perhaps the problem? Did I not specify this line correctly? Or 
is something wrong with the mesh?

Thanks,
Matt
