How to define a plane with specified dimensions in CFD-Post or CFX-Post? Can this plane be used to plot contours or as the source for streamlines? |
Yes, this is possible. The attached document describes the process step by step.
|
SYMPTOM:
The CFX Solver fails at the start of the run with an error similar to:
/ansys/v110/CFX/bin/linux-amd64/solver-hpmpi.exe was interrupted by signal SEGV (11)
when a high-speed interconnect (such as Infiniband or Myrinet) is used for a parallel run.
(Note: HPMPI has been renamed Platform MPI starting at ANSYS R14.0)
PROBLEM:
CFX Release 11.0 includes HP MPI 2.2.5 for the use of parallel jobs using the HP MPI start methods. However, this version of HP MPI does not support some of the newer hardware/firmware that is now available for high-speed interconnects. In particular:
- HP-MPI 2.2.5 works with OFED 1.0 and 1.1, but not newer versions of OFED.
- HP-MPI 2.2.5.1 is the first release which supports ConnectX. |
WORKAROUND:<br>If the latest version of HP MPI (currently 2.3) is downloaded from the HP website and installed, then CFX Release 11.0 can pick this up and use it instead of HP 2.2.5. The... |

Q. The Workbench Simulation documentation includes the comment: "If your CAD system split the cylinder into two or more faces, select all of the faces when defining the bearing load." This apparently will not work. Only one face is used. What does a reasonable man have to do to get this to work?
A. This will only work provided the cylinder faces belong to the same part. Go back to DM and form a new multi-body part from the split cylinders. |

Why does every "CAD Integration*intel" directory have a copy of ComponentSystem.dll? These DLLs all appear to be identical, and consume more disk space than is necessary. One would think that one copy of this file, in a known location, would be sufficient. |

SYMPTOM:
A CHT case that includes 1:1 internal solid-solid domain interfaces fails during the first timestep with the following error:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Writing crash recovery file |

| ERROR #001100279 has occurred in subroutine ErrAction. |
| Message: |

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
PROBLEM:
The problem is caused by a limitation in the solver algorithms. These do not account for 1:1 interfaces for internal solid-solid interfaces. |
WORKAROUND:<br>Change the interface type to GGI, or, create separate solid domains.<br><br>FIXED IN:<br>ANSYS CFX Release 12.0.
