What is a Slack Value in separately mesh panel in Icepak? |
When the Mesh separately option for an assembly is turned on, the offset added to Assembly in respective direction is called Slack Values.<br><br>By default the slack values are zero... |
What rules should we follow while creating non-conformal assembly? |
While creating a non-conformal assembly, following rules need to be taken in to account.<br><br>These rules are for bounding box of the assembly after using slack... |
If I select "Mesh separately " in assembly panel, do I have to select the option "Mesh assemblies separately" in Mesh control panel |
Yes, both of these options need to be selected for non-conformal mesh. |
Can I have a different mesh type in different assemblies |
Yes, in the ¿assemblies¿ panel users can select the desired mesh type and this can be different from the global meshing option.<br><br>In the mesh control panel, users... |
What is a nested assembly? |
In Icepak, users can have an assembly inside another assembly; this is called a nested assembly.<br><br>Both the assemblies can be non-conformal and can have different... |
In ICEPAK, restarting a Transient model from a Steady state solution does not work when 'Full data' option is used for restart. Why? Is there any work around? |
There may be issues while restarting a transient solution from a steady state solution using ¿Full data¿ option, if "Merge zones when possible¿ function is selected... |

In Icepak model, how to view/modify assigned powers for components and how to find total power in a system? |
The power value of a component can be viewed and modified using Power and temperature limits panel. The panel can be accessed via -<br>Model ---> Power and Temperature... |
When I try to distribute a run with HP-MPI in 12.1 version on 2 processors, I have an error message that says I need an HPC license |
It's possible to distribute a solve on 2 processors without HPC license. The error message is due to a malfunction of the initial license manager. You need to install "ANSYS License... |
How can I activate the stress stiffening with 22x elements (SOLID223, 226 & 227) ? |
We do not have SOLCONTROL for the coupled-field element that would automatically set SSTIF to on when NLGEOM is on.<br> So it's necessary to set SSTIF,ON to activate stress stiffening. |
KNOWN ISSUE: Parallel CFX-Solver runs using Infiniband may crash or hang on some Linux systems |
SYMPTOM:<br>A parallel CFX run using HP MPI Distributed Parallel and Infiniband may crash or hang when run on a Linux system with an older kernel, most often at the point where a results... |
KNOWN ISSUE: Adaptive timestepping cases run in parallel use the wrong RMS Courant number (Class 3 Error) |
SYMPTOM:<br>Transient cases which use the Adaptive option for Timesteps and use the RMS Courant Number option to control the timestep adaption will show different RMS Courant Numbers and... |
We would like to build up a model in FEMGV 7.1 in two parts and then merge the two parts together to create the full model for the calculation. Is this possible? |
This is possible. The procedure is as follows:<br><br>================<br>To join two models together with a common geometry connection you just apply the MERGE command, see... |
KNOWN ISSUE: Use of zero pressure polynomial for specific heat in Particle User Fortran (Class 3 Error) |
SYMPTOM:<br>If the specific heat of a particle transport phase is set using a zero pressure polynomial, and this specific heat is subsequently used in a Particle User Routine, then the... |
When trying to run Workbench on a Linux platform I get the following error (in part). Why is this error occurring and what can I do to correct the problem?
|
This error is occuring because you are trying to start Workbench on a Linux platform with "non-English" keyboard settings, where commas are used as separators for floating numbers... |
Is it possible to borrow licenses for FEMGV 7.1? I have used the Run the ANSYS Borrow Utility option on the Client ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility and the licenses appear to have been correctly but when I detach the laptop from the network containing the license server I am not able to run FEMGV 7.1; it fails with a license error. |
It is not possible to borrow licenses for FEMGV at this time. The FEMGV 7.1 software needs to be rebuilt to contain a correction for this. This has been requested. |

How do I create a domain interface when the two sides of the interface have the same mesh location?
|
1) Create the name selection on the joins, this will be loaded into CFX but will have faces from bodies on both sides of the interface (therefore double the number required).<br><br>2)... |
