When I click update and result to run the project for NVH Analysis (in 1st picture) and also for CFD Analysis (in 2nd picture). It said failed to solve( in 3rd picture and 4th picture). When I click “Open” to view log file it telling me this (5th picture). I tried to run the project several times but it still say the same. I don’t know, it might come from saving location, notebook storage or other reasons.
Hi Truc Hoang Ho,
It is difficult to understand the issue with 5th picture you shared.
Can you share the log file of the model?
You will find it in the folder where you save the results.
Thank you,
Lavanya

Hi Truc,
The issue is coming due to insufficient memory.
Can you try to run on a disk with more free space?

Hi Lavanya,
I am currently using an Education version of Simlab on my computer and I am doing an example from this PART 3: 3D CFD ANALYSIS (AIR COOLING)MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF ELECTRIC MOTORS WITH SIMLAB 2023.1
Is there anything I can do go get the result with the version I am having?
