Hello,

I am running ANSYS 2019 R2 to run a 2d density based axisymmetric transient simulation.

I had been running it for quite a few months now on an older system and have recently migrated it onto a newer system with better specifications. However recently I am stuck with an error that fluent throws out: "Error: Out of scheme heap space".

I am running parallel processing on a 6 physical cores system having 16 GB RAM, 1TB Hard disk space, 4GB Graphics. I do not think it is a fault in the system, as the system is brand new and was running without any issues for a week.

Fluent runs for 2 time steps, and then stops by showing this error. If I save the data and run from where it stopped, it does so without an issue - but then it runs only for the next 2 time steps and stops again.

I tried searching in the forum and was able to find this thread: Error in compute process - No Active Application - which has the same error but due to a different problem. I tried the solution suggestion anyway, but it did not help.

I also tried searching on ANSYS community forums where a person asked to launch Fluent via command line and include an additional "h" parameter specifying a heap allocation of 50,000. I followed that thread as well but Fluent does not launch when using that parameter in the command line. If the "h" parameter is not included, it launches - but then that doesn't serve the required purpose.

Here is the error log:

Error: Out of Scheme heap space.
Rerun with -h flag set greater than (multiples of 100000) current value of -h100000.

I am also attaching the error log in a text file alongside this post.

Please someone help ASAP. I have been stuck with this issue for days now.

Figured it out!!

The error is resolved by deleting the automatic solution export that I had enabled.

After FLUENT writes the solution, it throws an error. Deleting the automatic export option solved the problem.

I have no idea why this issue happened for something so trivial as this.

If someone figures out why, please let me know.

I found the heap error solution after several trials
that change the name of cas and data file only then lunch fluent by new name and run
