Any limit on no. of rbodies in model

Hi,

I am facing a issue in rbody initialisation . I have around 8000 rbodies in model/ These rbodies were off in first engine file and has been turned on in the second engine file. During the second engine run , rbody initialisation starts and it gets stuck at one of the rbodies after some time and after that there is nothing happening. Is there any limit issues with total no. of rbody in model.or anything else,

Kindly let me know.

Thank you.

Hi Gopal,

There are no such limits for rigid bodies and no such issues are known. Which HyperWorks version are you using?,

Please share the model via dropbox so that I'll try running the same from my end too.

Hi,

I have sent the files. I am using version 13.

Hi Gopal,

The model file runs for me. I terminated the run after the second engine file started since the run takes more time to complete. I tried the same in HyperWorks 2017 version. I recommend you to download and install the latest HyperWorks suite, HyperWorks 2017 which can be downloaded from https://connect.altair.com/

Attaching the T01 and T02 files for reference.

Hi Gopal,

There are no similar bugs or similar issues reported for this version. Normally it should run. Delete all the settings files and also clear your temp directory and try running the same.

Hi ,

I am running the job in a linux cluster. Can you let me know about the files that needs to be removed in linux similar to what we do in windows set up i.e commamd.cmf, hw settings etc.

Hi Gopal,

In the Home location you can find the settings file (hmmenu ot hmsettings files, .tcl...etc).
