Problem with Phoenics solver

Alan · March 28, 2009, 03:27

Hi,

My company recently purchased Phoenics and I am trying to familiarise myself with the program, but I am having some troubles when trying to run the tutorials. I can build the model without any problems, but when I try to run the solver nothing happens. I click 'ok' after selecting solver, then at the bottom of the screen 'preparing editor data, please wait' is displayed. After this nothing happens, no convergence graphs are displayed or anything. When I try to go to the post-processor, it cannot find the solution file. This also happens when I run the pre-prepared flow around a sphere model.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Alan

Hmmm... which particular case are you running? Browse the library and look for "Virtual Reality Cases" because I was told that many of the cases date back to pre-VR-Editor days and won't run directly out of the VR-Editor.

Try cases 626, 629, or 911
