Limits of FEKO SE

Altair Forum User

I was working on the a final project and received this error while run Feko. 

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 Patch Antenna Test.out

Is there any way to fix the issue? I was unaware any limitation for student use.

Thanks,

Hi Erik,

 

Kindly find below the limitations of FEKO student edition. You might have exceeded any of these limits.  It would be great if you could share the model so that we can determine exactly where it has exceeded the limits and solve the issue accordingly. 

 

Model Elements	Limitations
Number of wires in CADFEKO	100
Number of faces in CADFEKO	200
Number of mesh wire segments	2 500
Number of mesh triangles	25 000
Number of tetrahedral volume elements	250 000
Number of voxel elements (FDTD)	500 000
Solution Specification
Near-field observation points per request	10 000
Far-field observation directions per request	20 000
Number of frequency values	20
Solution Metrics
Main memory that can be allocated by FEKO kernel	1 GByte
Number of processes for parallel FEKO version	4
Total run-time (wall-clock time) of FEKO kernel	20 min
Number of adaptive frequency sampling points	101
Number of simultaneously active excitations	20
Number of optimisation variables (degrees of freedom)	3
Number of optimisation steps (iterations)	50

Note: The FEKO Student Edition does not support geometry import and export filters.  It will however allow the export of Parasolid geometry.
