Dear All,
I am facing a problem in Ansys
I am solving a model (Transient Thermal Analysis (Heat Flow from Hydrothermal Vessel)) in Ansys 16.2 Workbench
While reaching modeling stage, and upon running the simulation, program gives an below error
An error occurred while starting the solver module. Please refer to the Troubleshooting section in the ANSYS Mechanical User Guide.
Project>Model>Transient Thermal>Solution
The solution of which is referred to at, and is mentioned in
Ansys Mechanical User Guide (http://148.204.81.206/Ansys/150/ANSYS%20Mechanical%20Users%20Guide.pdf) under the heading of
"An Error Occurred While Starting the Solver Module" (Page 1419)
According to which, I must access Control Panel of my computer to increase my virtual memory to run this simulation.
Even after doing that, problem persists.
What should I do?
I shall be extremely grateful
With regards,
Ali
It seems to me that you have created very big model with high no of nodes which require more space. What are no of nodes and elements in your model? Increase mesh size. One way to reduce no of nodes and elements is by selecting midside nodes-dropped in mesh-advanced settings and using lower through thickness elements.
thanks for the reply
Yes you are right
Nodes: 43206
Elements: 21634
above method does not seem to work effectively
No of nodes and elements seem normal. Then you may be using hardware that has limited capacity to do such calculation. Check the hardware of your machine. Alternatively you can use iterative solver under analysis settings for solving this problem.
Please check the error content in the solution information object under the solution tree. Scroll through solver output and locate error. If it it is related to the content given on page no 1445(ANSYS Mechanical User's Guide), then you can take the steps as per the guide and it should be resolved.
