Error in CFX Solver

Hi,

starting the CFX-Solver with my project, the following Error-message appears after partitioning:

Any idea what this means?
I´m using Ansys 12.1.

Does it run in serial? What about the other parallel modes?

michael_owen · November 4, 2010, 14:31

Was CFX completely installed on the individual nodes? It looks like the job can't find the units file.

RossFS · November 6, 2010, 05:03

I'd get error 255 when a simulation wouldn't run on local parallel but would run in serial mode on some 2D simulations I ran recently.

Well, you have some basic debugging to do before we can be of any assistance.

Run a simple simulation - maybe a tutorial example or the benchmark, it does not matter. Run it serial, and local parallel in various modes. Does that work? This will tell you if you have a problem with your installation. Then run your model. This will tell you if the problem is your simulation.

BTW: The benchmark simulation can be found in <CFX ROOT>/examples/Benchmark.def. A nice simple quick demo run which is useful for debugging.
