Floating Point Exception

  Hello,
  
  I keep getting a floating-point exception trying to run a propeller in fluent that was created from OpenPROP. I've tried changing around the element size of the meshing and mimicking parameters from this video
  but can't seem to solve the error. Does anyone have experience using propeller geometries in Fluent? Do you need to trim the trailing edges of the blade to avoid singularities?
  
  Any tips or places to look would be hugely appreciated

  Hello,
  
  What is your mesh quality? Please share either the minimum orthogonal quality or maximum skewness numbers? If the mesh is bad, you might need to identify the location with poor cells and improve the mesh.
  
  Thanks.
