      When using a 3D Fan zone setup, one must input an ‘Inlet Fan Zone’. This zone is an ‘interior’ zone that has to be planar for the calculation to be performed by Fluent : https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v191/flu_ug/flu_ug_sec_bc_3d_fan.html (chapter 6.2.4.2.1.) If the inlet zone is not planar (e.g. the fan zone contain only one cylindrical boundary zone gathering the inlet, the outlet and the shroud area), it is possible that Fluent will crash at the start of the calculation
