dear all,

I got this message in cfx 5.4.1 build when i try to mashing.

"Zero length stack generated"

and then I can not write the diffinition file.

But when I run the example such as staticMixer, I don't have this message.

dear all,

I got this message in cfx launcher when i try to run the solver

What causes this and how do we avoid it? Thanks

maybe you should change the time steps

Hi Ji

The "zero stack length generated" error, is due to 3 sided surfaces which is poorly parameterised and has an edge length of zero.

Go to Geometry > Show > Surface, then highlight all surfaces and apply. Look down the list of surfaces and you will see the problem surfaces have 4 sides but 1 side is zero, therefore 3 sided.

There are 2 methods of solving this, join the problem surface with an adjoining surface to create a large trimmed surface, or re-create the surface as a trimmed surface.

You could also check to see if any of the edges of the problem surfaces are not smaller than the tolerance.
