Error

I am hereby attching the modelbelow can anyone please check and tell my why this error is occuring. This happended when I tried to run the hyperworks cfd file after assigning all the boundary condition and mesh using the run option. Please check and let me know at the earliest

I opened the .hm file in HyperWorks CFD 2021. (Which version are you using?) I don't see any boundaries defined, nor do I see any mesh.

Can you send the .inp file written when you tried to launch - plus any .Log file created?

Looking at the file size - maybe you uploaded the incorrect .hm file... Seems this might be the file we worked before to successfully pass the 'Validate' stage... Maybe you need to upload a different file.

Have you gone through some of the Heat Transfer tutorials? (File > Help > Tutorials)

Sir here I have attached all log files

When you created the material model for the battery, you did so under the 'Fluid' type instead of 'Solid' type. This is causing the troubles you're seeing. To create a solid material, in the Material Library panel, first click 'Solid' then the 'My Materials' tab, then + to create your material model. Once you've created the 'Solid' material for the battery you'll need to assign that to the battery solids. (You may need to re-name your material under 'Fluid' if you want to use the same name - or you can use another name for the 'Solid' material, like Battery_Solid. You cannot delete the original 'Fluid' Battery material while it is still assigned to the battery solids. You could temporarily assign the battery solids to some other material, then delete the Fluid battery material.)

The problem setup now looks correct - and it runs correctly in my installation.

Comparing .Log files - your runs stop at the point where the license would be checked out. (This is the same as before...) But it looks like you might be running the EDU version. Can you confirm which version you are trying to use - and from where you obtained the software? If you are running the full version of AcuSolve, do you have a valid license file?

Are you able to run successfully any of the tutorials that you would find from File > Help > Tutorials?

I am able to launch the problem successfully using the 2020.1 EDU version and EDU license - launching directly from HyperWorks CFD. Assuming you have a valid EDU license - how are you trying to launch AcuSolve? Can you post a screenshot of your launch panel/window?

Hi Sir yes it has worked perfectly those were some installation issues from my end. No I would just like to know how to visualize the temperature contours of each battery in that component when I checked in acufield I could only find the temp of the whole component

3. Also how to create a streamline of air. I tried to click to the streamline option and I just defined some seed points it didnt work could you guide me please for both queries

It is likely that the surfaces of the batteries all went into the same collector - default wall. That is fine for boundary condition purposes, since they are all treated the same. If you want to view the results separately for each battery, you can put each battery surface into its own collector - just for output purposes.

In HWCFD click on the 'Solution' ribbon, then 'Surfaces' in the Monitors group. Then select the surface(s) you want for each output group then the 'play/right arrow' button to move to the next selection. You can rename those surface output groups as well, to give them names that are useful for your work.

If you installed in the default Windows location, you can open this page in a Web Browser for the main AcuSolve Help page:

If you click on Tutorials, then go to the AcuFieldView Tutorials portion, some of them do have some basic instructions for streamlines. For your case, I would create some seeds on the inlet surface, then 'Calculate' to generate the streamlines. Then you can change various things about how they are displayed, animate them, etc.

This may be a good place to look for more instructions on FieldView (basically the same as AcuFieldView) usage - and many of these appear to have streamlines, too. You won't be able to load the data into AcuFieldView, but you can at least review the instructions/processes.

Yes sir I too created 3 seeds and clicked calculate but nothing cameout, So is there any specific way to set seeds

And what is this CTL-M1 sir

You may wish to hide (un-check Visibility) the boundary surfaces you have shown there, in order to see what is in the interior. Is that larger face in the picture the outlet or the inlet? Once you've turned off the display of the boundaries, you should be able to see the interior. Then you can color the streamlines something other than black. (About 1/4 the way down the panel - Coloring is currently set to 'Geometric' and Black is the color. You can change that to 'Scalar', then select which scalar to use for the color - right now it is set to Temperature.)

he one surface you are seeing is the outlet

I now notice you have 'Mode' at 'Seed a Surface'. Most likely the 'display' surface currently shown includes all the surfaces in the model, so the 10 seeds are randomly distributed over all those surfaces - some of which are walls. If you create a new Boundary Surface with only the Inlet, then you can create seeds using 'Seed a Surface' and the given number of seeds will be only on that surface. You could also switch Mode from 'Seed a Surface' to 'Add' you can use Ctrl-LeftMouse to select specific locations for the seeds (from a boundary surface, coordinate surface, etc.)
