Following is the procedure to locate the cells with low temperature:<br><br>1)Read the case and data in which temperature limitation messages were coming.<br>2)Open the Adapt... |
KR104: How can I suppress the warning messages about reversed flow at certain boundaries or regarding limits on certain variables such as temperature or turbulent viscosity? |
These warning messages could indicate potential errors or inconsistencies in your problem definition within FLUENT. In other cases, they may appear only during the early convergence stages of your... |
KR105: Error: divergence detected in AMG solver: pressure correction---what does this mean and how do I fix the problem? |
This error message is an indication that the ¿pressure correction¿ equation is diverging. The most likely cause is that the under-relaxation factor (URF) for that equation is too... |
KR106: How do I resolve the following error: |
This error occurs when FLUENT gets information from the Cortex (GUI). FLUENT is expecting to get the data in a specific format, but gets another. This generally occurs when FLUENT attempts to... |
KR107: How can I identify zone names and display them? |
Go to Surface-> Zone. Select the zones you want to identify one by one and press `Create¿.<br><br>These zones will now appear as surfaces in the Display->Mesh... |
KR108: How to resolve warning message saying the turbulent viscosity limited to viscosity ratio? |
Also review Siebel Solution 2002233.<br><br>The message you are seeing is more a warning than an error. It stipulates that the ratio of turbulent viscosity over the laminar viscosity... |
KR109: How can I save my contour plot settings? |
For frequently used combinations of contour variables and options, you can store the information needed to generate the contour plot by specifying a Setup number and setting up the desired... |
KR110: How to resolve warning message involving the temperature limits? |
There are two main causes for this: shell conduction initialization and reacting flow/heat transfer issues.<br><br>If you are using Shell conduction, you must patch the shell zones... |
KR111: When using planar conduction, which temperatures should be displayed on the boundary walls? |
When one is using planar conduction (sometimes called in-plane conduction or shell-element conduction) to account for both in-plane and normal heat conduction on boundary walls, you need to be... |
KR112: How do I resolve the following error: FLUENT received fatal signal (ACCESS_VIOLATION)? |
This is the standard error caused by FLUENT trying to access data that has not been allocated.<br><br>There are several causes which we will discuss.<br><br>For example, in... |
KR113: How to plot data on a circular surface? |
Fluent has the option of creating a circular surface to plot data.<br><br>Surface -> Quadric.<br>Type: Circle<br>Specify origin and radius and it creates a circle... |
KR114: How to record the animation showing at Sweep Surface |
There is no straightforward way of doing this with Fluent.<br><br>It may be done with scheme commands to export *.tif files at various surfaces. This may take some... |
KR115: How do I find specific geometry information from the case file for a specific zone (like xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax etc)? |
Following are the steps to get domain extent of a particular zone:<br><br>1. Initialize the case<br><br>2. Go to Surface->Iso-Surface<br><br> - Select... |
KR116: How to Repair Rotationally Periodic Zones in FLUENT? |
For cases with periodic boundary conditions, the minimum, maximum, average, and prescribed periodic angles are computed and reported when you perform Grid /Check. Many times the reported average... |
KR117: Why is the mass flow rate of a chemical species into the domain not equal to the product of the mass fraction and the bulk mass flow rate? |
The net mass flow rate of a species at an inlet boundary includes contributions from both convection and diffusion. The convection component is determined from your input of species concentration... |
KR118: Warning: materials in neighbor cell threads (3 and 2) of interior zone 19 are of different types (aluminum and water-liquid). This problem MUST be fixed before solving! |
In FLUENT, a Wall/Wall-shadow pair must separate solid/fluid regions. Between fluid/fluid regions, we can have an INTERIOR zone type.<br><br>It is also possible to convert a solid... |
KR119: Can I read in 6.3 files in 6.2? |
I created a case file with Version 6.3, and then read it into version 6.2 on a different computer. Now I always get the following error messages everytime I write or read in the case... |
KR120: How can I assign current time as flow time for a transient problem? |
I am doing unsteady flow simulations. There are a number of processes involved in a complete cycle: reaction, regeneration and reduction.<br><br>I have created individual case for each... |
KR122: Access MRF parameters using UDF's |
While using MRF model in Fluent, user can only specify constant values of angular velocity for fluid and wall zones using GUI.<br><br>Also, Fluent GUI does not have any direct hooks... |
