Error Message in FEKO Solver

Blessings.

I got this message when accessing FEKO solver:
 

The following message from the master process (MYID= 0):

ERROR 33114: Limits of the Feko Student Edition have been exceeded

See also message in the output file TWT Antenna v1.out

 

How can I proceed?

P.S.  I re-check my email and found out that I still need to set the environment variable in system setting.  Could this have been the cause of the current warning?

 

Thanks.

    Hi @ebdaculan,

     

    Your model seems to exceed the limitations you have with the Student Edition, see here. https://altairuniversity.com/feko-student-edition/

    Thanks.

     

    Linearly spaced discrete points of solution frequency was set at 21.  Limit was 20.

    Hi,

     

    Feko Solver Error: Cadfeko not running feko solver. Screenshot of error message is as follows:

     

    'The following message from the master process (MYID= 0):

    ERROR 33114: Limits of the FEKO Student Edition have been exceeded

    See also message in the output file antenna.out'

     

    The simulation is run at a single frequency. What parameter and/or parameters within the Cadfeko (Free license student version of FEKO is installed in my machine) environment needs to change, in order to resolve the above issue?

     

    If it's possible, please provide step by step details on what needs to be change, i.e. the antenna model design parameters/mechanical dimension values, ....etc.  needs to change, which one.

     

    This issue was reported by another student number of years ago in this form however no detail step by step instructions set to how resolve this issue was provided. Please confirm as much details as possible.

     

    Thank you

    I am not sure about older versions but in Feko 2019 a message is given.

    For example, if I try to run 21 discrete frequencies:

     

    #################################################################

    # Limits of the Student Edition have been exceeded #

    # Number of frequency values

    # Current value: 21

    # Maximum value: 20

    #################################################################

     

    And in CADFEKO if I try to mesh too many triangles, the CADFEKO message window gives the error.
    Error 17003: The number of mesh triangles (25320) is not allowed to exceed 25000 in Altair Feko Student.

     

    If you have worked through the Example Guide then making the above changes to avoid the error should be easy (changing the number of frequencies or setting a coarser mesh size / reducing the model size.)
