Without using Linux, I installed OpenFOAM for Windows and am using FreeCAD to execute it. I verified that all of the dependencies were installed and suitable for CfdOF. However, the solver keeps crashing while attempting to run a basic air flow example in a pipe like follows:

Note:
- I have tried different base element size using gmsh.
- The residual plot is not showing up at all.
Could anyone please help? What am I missing.
