    Hi Paulo,

    Its normally depends on the system configuration and number of elements.

    Thank you Sourav for your quick reply. I have interrupt the process, guess the change fase point was inadequated. But another problem I've had.

     

    I found this error while calculating solidification only. Copud you please help to understand?

    A bit complex cooler system can increase the calculation time?

    Hi Paulo,

     

    1. We can't control on the meshing.

    2. If the parts are duplicate or overlapped, then this kind of error will come, and also check for the parts connectivity

    please share that model.

    3. Yes the appropriate phase change would be here but this will not affects the calculation

     

    4. Yes It is possible cooler system can increase the calculation time.

     

    you are getting the error because of meshing

    Thank you Sourav for all replies. I did finished the calculation, the simulation worked. 

     

    I did made sure of the feed system overlap the product and think that this was the factor for the simulation be completed.

     

    Solidification process took around 20 minutes. Quite fast.

    Filling process took something about 5 hours I guess. Delayed a bit but worked.

     

    Thank you again for the support.

    Sourav, could please give a quick look at the results to help to identify the possible casting problems we can expect for this parameters set in this case?
