Unexpected Behavior of Fluent (Hoops error)

Rajkool · March 30, 2020, 16:01

Hello all,

I know it might be a technical error, but I just wanted to know. It is common or something unusual. Everything was working fine until I was trying for streamlines in post-processing.

"The program can't find the hoops2300_x64_x140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling to fix this problem."

P.S: I have not deleted or modified or updated or changed the folder of the directory. In spite, I got this error.

Any kind of info or help would be appreciated.

Thank you
Raj

It is possible that the buffer or cache is filled. You need to use the garbage collector to clear it up. Issue following command before displaying streamlines

(begin (gc) (cx-send '(gc)))

Or it could be that you do not have OpenGL working. Then set HOOPS_DRIVER variable to value of x11. Or you can start Fluent with the command line option -driver x11
