I have been trying to get ANSYS CFX 10.0 to run using Mellanox Infiniband (VAPI). I receive the following error message:

mpid: MPI BUG: VAPI requested but not available
An error has occurred in cfx5solve:
The CFX-5 solver could not be started, or exited with return code 255. No results file has been created.

I believe this indicates that it is trying to use VAPI but is failing for some reason. The infiniband interfaces on all the nodes have been tested and they are up.

I tried to use the mixture fraction in an expression gradient directly but CFX did not like it. I have no error message in CFX-Pre but in CFX solve the gradient is not recognized.

Class 3 Error

SYMPTOM:
Oil combustion calculations can get incorrect answers.

PROBLEM:
This is due to incorrect properties for density, molar mass and Antoine coefficients in the oil_combustion.ccl template in the etc/model-templat

Class 3 Error

SYMPTOM:
If the 'Edit run in progress' functionality is used in a run with mesh adaption, then when the mesh is adapted, the CCL reverts to the original, and any changes made are lost.

PROBLEM:
This is due to a problem with the script which is not copying the updated CCL into the run on the

Class 3 Error

SYMPTOM:
The liquid pump macro can calculate a power that is double the true power.

PROBLEM:
This is due to the macro summing over both boundaries and regions that have 'blade'

Class 3 Error

SYMPTOM:
In a run with mesh adaption, it is possible that the refiner will create unattached element faces for certain types of original mesh. There can thus be small pieces of non-slip walls interior to the domain. These faces will usually be small, so the effect on the flow will be slight.

PROBLEM:
This is due to a bug in the refiner, and also to the solver not checking


WORKAROUND:<br>There is no workaround.<br><br>FIXED IN:<br>Not fixed yet.

Class 3 Error

SYMPTOM:
If a user creates some CCL, and an associated Fortran file, for a Particle User Routine, with consistent order of arguments, then reading the file into CFX-Pre can change the order of arguments and silently make the CCL inconsistent with the Fortran.

PROBLEM:
This is due to CFX-Pre putting arguments in alphabetical order, and not maintaining the or

Class 3 Error

SYMPTOM:
If the rgp files in etc/materials-extra are used for physical properties, incorrect results are obtained for heat transfer problems that are laminar or are turbulent with large regions of low eddy viscosity.

PROBLEM:
This is due to incorrect values of thermal conductivity being used in t


WORKAROUND:<br>Use the Redlich Kwong library material in place of the rgp file.<br><br>FIXED IN:<br>Release 11.0.

Class 3 Error

SYMPTOM:
If maxVal or minVal are used when monitoring a vector variable such as Shear Stress or Mesh Displacement, then the code gives incorrect answers, and this is not always obvious.

PROBLEM:
This is due to a bug in the CFX Solver for using these functions for vect


WORKAROUND:<br>Use the maxVal or minVal function on an individual component of the vector, or create a scalar AV equal to the magnitude of the vector quantity, and use maxVal or minVal on...

Class 3 Error

SYMPTOM:
If a callback (for example torque) is used in a part of the set-up of a problem where a local coordinate frame is in use, then the callback is evaluated in global coordinates.

PROBLEM:
This is a problem of software design as this behaviour was always intended and is documented, but is non-intuitive


WORKAROUND:<br>The user needs to modify settings to allow for this behaviour.<br><br>FIXED IN:<br>Release 11.0. In this release, torque_xyz(), area_xyz() and force_xyz()...

Class 3 Error

SYMPTOM:
If the equilibrium option is used to set the backward reaction rate for a chemical reaction, it is not calculated correctly if the reaction order used for the species is not equal to the stoichiometric value. This results in incorrect species concentrations for this reaction.

PROBLEM:
This is because the "Equilibrium" option for backward reaction rates is implemented only for the special case of Reaction Order = Stoichiometric Coefficient for all reactants


WORKAROUND:<br>There is no workaround.<br><br>FIXED IN:<br>Release 11.0.

Class 3 Error

SYMPTOM:
The Grace drag correlation gives incorrect answer for the particle transport model, unless the fluid is water with a viscosity of 9.0E-4.

PROBLEM:
This is due to a bug in the CFX Solver in which the code uses a reference fluid viscosity rather than the actual viscosity


WORKAROUND:<br>There is no workaround.<br><br>FIXED IN:<br>Release 11.0. Custom executable for Release 10.0 available on request.

Is it possible to open a dsdb, agdb or wbdb file that is created on ANSYS Workbench 10.0 sp1 Windows 64-bit system on a 32-bit installation?


Yes, that is possible, and supported (assuming that you don¿t go over the memory restrictions on the 32-bit system).

On trying to start ANSYS 10.0 on an AIX 5.3 system, the following error occurs:

Could not load program

Q.
Can CFX-Pre import plot3d meshes?


A.
Yes, CFX-Pre can import plot3d meshes. User can save the mesh out as a CGNS format in plot3d, which can be read by CFX-pre. Unfortunately, when CFX-Pre imports the mesh, it lumps all the external 2-d regions together. In order to solve this problem, users can download free software from the CGNS website. It is called CGNS Tools: utilities to manipulate CGNS files. These tools can be used in standalone mode or in conjunction with the ADFviewer. Most users prefer to extract the subset in the ADFviewer.

QUESTION: Do you have an example demonstrating the capability and procedure for calculating eigen frequencies and eigen modes of a coupled cavity device, such as a travelling wave tube? I would like to be able to prescribe either even or odd periodicity on the ends of the mesh of a single cavity to represent the infinte extension of a series of cavities connected in series.

ANSWER: The attached zip file contains a presentation summarizing field distributions and natural frequencies of the first 5 modes of a hypothetical coupled cavity for both even and odd periodic boundary conditions at planes between the cavities (a single cavity is modeled).

This is a new feature at release 11, which is still beta.
