Dear Sirs,

The problem arose in CFX POST (5.7.1) - the transient results waere set as minimal, but in POST they are showed as Full, so the error arise when trying to load the result.

Where this problem could arise from?

Thank you!

Hi,

I didn't understant very well what you meant.But in Post the only result files you can load are: *.res, *_full.bak and *_full.trn. To have access to a *.trn file (minimal transient result) you have to go to the Timestep Selector.

Rui

Hi, You should first load the results file or some backup file and then you can load the trn files (minimal)

Regards, test

It looks like you don't understand me.

I DO load the last result (res file) and in time selector I see al the transient resilts (trn files), but all of the trn files have type "Full". But they are not Full, they are Minimal, so when I try to load such file (in time selector) I get the error. The question was - why POST thinks that TRN files are FULL, while they are Minimal?

Hi,

In the folder created by CFX (where those files are located), are the files names, for example, 10.trn, 20.trn, etc?If so, I have no idea why Post shows them as Full.

What is exactly the error message you get?

I've gave the exact error as it should be when trying to load information about the domain from the file where there are no such info (from the minimal transient file) ;-)

So, the question is - where does POST obtain info about type of the transient file and why it's wrong. Or, it could be possible SOLVER wrote the wrong information into the TRN files? I have 3 sets of transient files in the definition - 2 sets are minimal and 1 is FULL... At the moment I can't say the exact error message as I'm not at the uni

Why have to complicate things for yourself? Just 3 trn files.... Make them all full.... It should work properly then...

Nice advice but not smart, as too much hard space wasted for unwanted data in full files

Hi,

Could you post here the OUTPUT CONTROL part of the .CCL file?

Ok.. You said it, but something is missing in your explanation. If you have 3 definitions for transient files: 1 Full and 2 Minimal, a what times, or time interval are these files being written.

The CFX-Solver will not write a minimal transient file if a full transient file be written at the same time step. Is this your case, perhaps? CFX-Post figures the existence of previous files from the results file, or a full transient file.

Hope it helps...

The more information you post describing your problem early on, the less iterations it will take for people here to help you.. Kind of an initial guess.

Good luck..

Hi,

I think everything is correct in your CCL file. You should have Minimal *.trn files with an interval of 0.1s (and at 0.05s and 0.15s), and Full *_full.trn files with an interval of 2s.

If all the transient files in the folder created by CFX are *_full.trn, the error is caused by the Solver; if there are *.trn files the error is probably caused by Post. But this won't help you.

Do you have the CFX-5.7.1 Patch installed? Do you see this at the biginning of the .out file?: Installed patches:

* CFX-5.7.1 Service Pack 1 build 200501312320If you have the Patch installed, I'm sorry but I have no idea why CFX-Post isn't reading the transient files correctly.

Rui

The same patch and build. The names of the files:

I've just copied the results into another directory and after that it's all ok.

So the bug is inside POST, may be POST doesn't like long directory names.
