How to fix Error from fLesGetHbrgEig <40> in acusolve (acusolve failed to launch after certain iteration)

Mudassir khan

Hello Expert 

I have developed a CFD model solving dam break condition air-debris multiphase problem. I have discretized CFD domain with 448789 nodes, 64440 2D element, and 1278663 3D element. My PC has 16 GB RAM with 8 cores. I started the simulation for transient condition for 5s with time step size 0.05. First Simulation run for very long time almost for 24 hr and after that it terminate showing following error. Please help me eliminate the following error and to obtain quick result

Multiphase can be quite computationally intensive.  First suggestion would be try a smaller time step and see if this helps - maybe 0.01 instead of 0.05.  It may even require smaller time step than that, but that's at least a place to start.  It may also require finer mesh, but I would start with smaller time step.

As you look at interim solutions (assuming you're writing output somewhat frequently) do the results look realistic?  Does the maximum velocity magnitude seem realistic?  Etc.

Iam facing the same issue while solving in Acusolve for my multiphase simulation→ Sloshing

the time step for the simulation is 0.002s with sin acc load 

My base simulation was running properly.
In the current simulation, the only change was that i changed the quadrature of elements for two trials

Base simulation → Full quadrature → run was completed(100%)

Iteration 1 → Reduced quadrature(editing the inp file) → ran for 504 time steps(≈50% completed)

Iteration 2 → Nodal quadrature(editing the inp file) → ran for 140 time steps(≈14% completed)

Can anyone guide me why the error is occuring in iteration 1 & 2 and how it can be resolved?

Thanks & Regards,

Seems like it's best to use Full Quadrature - the default.
