Pyrolysis gases: Gas models for Acusolve CFD

Do you have information on gases whose components and conditions cause them to behave differently throughout the process? Let me explain: there are pyrolysis gases and it  will always be different depending on the type of biomass, humidity, and if the temperature drops at any point, it won’t behave the same. According to experience, simulation software works with combustion gases that don’t behave in this manner, such as LPG. However, when you try to simulate pyrolysis gas from palm kernel shells, which behaves differently at 800 degrees compared to 900 degrees, the software doesn’t function properly. Could AcuSolve simulate the kind of behaviour pyrolysis need? Thank you in advance

    Can you attach a representative input (.inp) and Log file, plus any user functions if you've used them, for a case you've tried?

    And when you specify 'the software doesn't function properly' - can you explain what you mean by that?  Do you mean the solver crashes/fails to run?  Or do you not get the results you expect?
