Tutorial OS-T 1600


Hello,
i tried to solve the Optistruct OS-T 1600 Tutorial, but after starting the two solvers (optistruct, acusolve) there is a convergence error of acusolve that stops the job:
Messages for the job:
*** ERROR # 5202 ***
Acusolve stops before FSI iteration achieves convergence.
*** PROGRAM STOPPED: FATAL ERROR(s) ENCOUNTERED.
Does anyone knows the problem? I checked all steps of the tutorial and start it again, but the error still appears.
The next step was to change the exchange parameter of acusolve (min/max_stagger_iterations) and optistruct (min/maxEX) to 30. A Simulation of the Tutorial with only 0.02s worked.
To simulate the tutorial 0.1s or the whole 1s - as it is described in the Tutorial- still doesn´t work with a value of 100 for max_stagger and MAXEX. Another error appeared:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Does anyone has got experience with the tutorial OS-T 1600 and solved it successfull?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi @Prakash Pagadala
Yes, of course. I hope it is the following:
If it is not the right one, please tell me.
Thank you.


everything alright. I changed a few parameter in Optistruct and it seems to work.
I missunderstand an instruction in the tutorial.
Thank you nonetheless.


Thank you for the update.
I am running the same model on my end and so far no issues were seen.


Hello Prakash,
I tried to built up an own FSI Problem and i got the same error as written April, 23.
What does this error generally means? What´s the problem?
*** ERROR # 3423 ***
MUMPS solver encountered error with code -6.
please contact support and provide .out and .stat files.
*** INTERNAL PROGRAMMING ERROR ***
in file 'nltranend.F', at location # 364.
**** ABORTING RUN DUE TO AN INTERNAL ERROR ****
Thank you in advanve.






Hi
I want to do tutorial OS-T 1600 FSI but in creating contact surface, when I click on '0 elements > elements' I cannot pick all the faces of the beam. When I select all the faces nothing happens and if I click on add, the message 'No new elements have been selected' appears. Could you please let me know how to select all the faces? Do I need to have 'all shell faces' or 'all solid faces'?
In fact I managed the problem. It needs to have 'all solid faces' to select elements.


Hi,
Can you change to 'add solid faces' and check if that helps?


Hi Prakash
Could you please look at attached error file and let me know how to manage the problem? There are several issues need to be fixed.
Thank you.


I think this is the problem...
*** WARNING # 9113
It appears that the directory used for scratch files:
/home/ac7754/fsi_slab_1/
is located on remote filesystem.
This could result in very slow solver performance.
Number of CPU processors : 32
If possible share the model file to debug...


Hi Prakash
Please find the model file in attachment.
Thanks & regards


Hi Prakash
Do you have a copy of FSI_AS_MANIFOLD.inp and FSI_OS_MANIFOLD.fem,
please?
Thank you.


Hi Prakash
Please find the model file in attachment.
Thanks & regards
I am able to reproduce the same but with a different warning message, I will get back to you with more details ASAP


Hi Prakash
Do you have a copy of FSI_AS_MANIFOLD.inp and
FSI_OS_MANIFOLD.fem<span></span>,
please?Thank you.
Can you give me the reference to the document about the files?


Hi Prakash
Are you running 'Slab.fem' on one single PC, please? When I did it there is a crash in simulation.
Thank you.


Hi Prakash
Is it possible to look at attached file and let me know how to manage the problem, please?
It is OS-T: 1610 Thermal Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis on a Manifold.
Thank you.

Hi @Question
I am checking with experts regarding the same. Looks like the FSI part has some problem.


Hi Prakash
When I run both tutorials OS-T 1600 and 1610, there is the following error.
acuSolve: *** ASSERTION in Function <ecdSetFatalError> File <ecd.c> Line <4208>
acuSolve: *** unable to match with external surface at 7 quadrature points
acuRun: *** ERROR: error occurred executing acuSolve
Could you please let me know how to manage it?
Thank you.


Hi,
I have shared test files with experts. I will share the feedback ASAP


Hi Prakash
I want to run an implicit simulation on a model with around 6 million elements. I set up the simulation as plate model in implicit analysis. However there are the following errors in my run. How can I solve that problem, please?

Hi,
What type of analysis is it?
Can you try with NLSTAT with LGDISP instead?


Hi
It is a NLGEOM implicit static analysis as you did for a plate. I set up my model as the plate one. The plate model is in attachment.
Is NLSTAT with LGDISP different than NLGEOM one, please?
Thank you.


Yes, NLGEOM uses RADIOSS block in the background.
You can refer to this tutorial for NLSTAT large displacement OS-T: 1520 Finite Sliding of Rack and Pinion Gear Model


My model is a cylinder under internal pressure. The cylinder is fixed in three supports along the length and the material is steel. According to physics of the model, I think there is no large displacement in that model. Do you think it needs to be run with NLSTAT large displacement? How about running with nonlinear material simulation?


Hi,
If the problem doesn't involve any large displacement, you can just try with NLSTAT where materail nonlinearity will be taken care.
Regarding FSI models, I am waiting for experts view. But from .cci file I can see that the solver couldn't make a connection after 2400 secs


Hi
How can I have just NLSTAT without large displacement?
Thank you.


Follow the same process shown in tutorial, but don't add PARAM>>LGDISP and in load case refer NLPARAM card in just NLPARM AND NOT TO NLPARM(LGDISP)


Do I follow OS-T: 1520 Finite Sliding of Rack and Pinion Gear Model or OS-T: 1500 Nonlinear Implicit Analysis of Bending of a Plate?
Hi @N_R could you please share the entire .out file with us?
