CFD Online Discussion Forums - Solver crashes (PVM parallel)

Hi all,

when setting up an CFX 11 run in parallel (PVM local) on my Dual Core (Intel Xeon) PC, the solver crashes after sucessfully patitioning and writes only the following:

"An error has occurred in cfx5solve: The ANSYS CFX solver has terminated without writing a results file. Command on host ansysxeonserv (ANSYS_XEON_SERV) exited with return code 0.

End of solution stage.

The following user files have been saved in the directory E:\fe-calc\g06\g06_020: fort.99"

I've searched a lot and phoned with the hotline, but hadn't any success. Licence should be no problem. I also tryed different def-Files. I put you some file entries which might be interesting for the problem:

*** case\fort.99: ***

Error (at msgget.F): Cannot find message file, english_msg.txt. Please make sure that the environment variable CFX_DATA_DIR is set to the right directory. The run will STOP.

*** hosts.ccl: ***

As you can see, I removed the spaces in the file path in hosts.cll file with no succeed. Furthermore I set up the environment variable CFX_DATA_DIR! CFX keeps on messaging the same nonsens. (BTW: MPICH doesn't work, too, but I didn't investigate that topic)

Thanks a lot for reading that much and for possible help!
