Hi there
Anybody can help me to solve this problem:
"Update failed for the Solution component in Fluid Flow (CFX). The solver failed with a non-zero exit code of : 2"
When I finished setup part of workbench and I wanted to update the solution I encountered this problem.
I searched about this problem on the Internet but I didn't find any useful instruction.
In addition, the software I'm working is CFX
Best regards

While there are a lot of error and warnings in this, the real problem is clearly this one:

FATAL ERROR : |
| |
| Initial values are required for all variables in TRANSIENT runs. |
| In this simulation, no initial value was set for |
| |
| Variable : Water.Temperature |
| Domain : Default Domain |
| |
| The value can be set using the Initialisation Branch in CFX Pre.

You need to define a complete initial condition.
