Severe error when runing metgrid.exe

[msotocalvo]

I'm having a severe error with wrf 4.4.1 when runing metgrid.exe, it starts processing the domains and suddenly stops. I thougth could be related with my namelist.wps but after this error I cannot execute anymore also the geogrid.exe.

Processing domain 2 of 5

parent_grid_ratio = 1, 3, 10, 10, 10,

I see a possible issue with a grid ratio of 10. Usually WPS and WRF like 3:1 or 5:1 according to this post

WRF namelist.wps Best Prac

If you have any of the log files from the ungrib, geogrid, and or metgrid I have some time to look at them @msotocalvo

Thank you for your response @Whatheway.
I also assumed that could be the reason, but now I can't run geogrid to modify the ratios because I get the same error. I attach the metgrid and ungrib logs.

Have you tried deleting the files that were created, adjust the namelists and try again?

Also you'll have to change the whole nested domains bc if you change the grid ratios the values for these will need to change. Because they are based on the 10:1

#&geogrid
parent_id = 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,
parent_grid_ratio = 1, 3, 10, 10, 10,
i_parent_start = 1, 13, 3, 39, 80,
j_parent_start = 1, 22, 56, 56, 40,
e_we = 90, 121, 401, 401, 401,
e_sn = 90, 121, 401, 401, 401,

Please change the options below:

Also, you may need to run with multiple processors, since this is a big case with multiple domains and large grid numbers.

Thank you so much for your response! Regarding the processors capacity I have 96 cpu for running this case, think should be enough.
