Fixes #2435.
If
REF_AREAis set to 0.0 (auto-calculation) but the geometry projection fails (e.g. flat plate aligned with projection plane), the area remains 0.0. This causes immediate divergence/NaNs later in the solver.Added a check in
SetPositive_ZAreato catch this case and error out cleanly viaSU2_MPI::Errorinstead of crashing.Verified using the NACA0012 testcase:
REF_AREA=0.0still works correctly (calculates ~1.0), ensuring no regression for valid cases.
