Need help running CONVERGE for the first time

ad1314 · April 1, 2021, 01:50

Hello

Just started using converge last week. For practice i set up a pretty simple flow case following the Converge Studio user guide and videos available in youtube. The case setup is successful as checked by validation tool in the studio. However i am unsuccessful in using the Converge solver through the command prompt. I tried the commands in the getting started guide and command used in a YouTube tutorial. but none of them are being recognized by the cmd prompt as valid command. I also tried using windows power shell but result was same. Please see the attached pictures for the error i am getting. My question is first how to run the case and second how to run the solver in serial and in parallel for future reference. My versions are:
Converge Studio 3.0
Converge 3.0.19 (at least the folder named that way in the installation directory)

Hello Kislaya

it turned out i did not have license for the solver and that was the cause of the error. I obtained a valid license and it is running without error now.
regards.
