I was running CMAQ v5.2.1 (It was working well for a previous project, so the model should be ok). When running it for the EPA 12US2 domain, CCTM successfully generated all output files but crashed while saving the restart (CGRID) file. Here is the log message:

I have never met this problem when using this model for a smaller eastern U.S. domain. I guess it may related to the input information, but can not figure out which species have the incorrect dimension. Any suggestion?
