Cart3D Problems
 

Hi all,

I'm having problems running Cart3D on anything. None of my models or the "sample" models included in the icem install directory will mesh in Cart3D. I have tried on both x86 Windows XP and x64 Windows 7 systems. Both computers run ICEM CFD 12.1.

After clicking "compute parameters", i get the following messages with no errors:

"C:/Program Files/ANSYS Inc/v121/icemcfd/win64_amd/icemcfd/output-interfaces/df2cart3d" -i "./plugs.uns" -o vcarta -single

When running the actual generator, i get this readout:

Running: "C:/Program Files/ANSYS Inc/v121/icemcfd/win64_amd/icemcfd/cubes" -i vcarta.input -o vcarta.mesh -ascii -b 4 -a 20 -pre vcarta.cntl -no_est -icem vcarta.dom -Dcut -Xcut 3 -Ycut 3 -Zcut 3 -no_file
Program is running: pid = 2104
Application is finished.
Error: Cart-3D Did not create pre-view mesh

I hope somebody else has been able to resolve this issue already.

Thanks,

Hi stuart23

Have you solved your problem with Cart3D?

I am getting into the same problem now.
