Error subroutine erraction
 
Hi guys,

i am doing an aerodynamic calculation of an external aerodynamic of an aircraft, it is an supersonic simulation, 600meters per second, i apply the engine inlet as outlet, and the jet outle as inlet with 4 bar pressure and 800 miles per hour velocity and a temperature of 1000 C

my timestep is 1e-05 and i apply 1000 iterations on steady state.

after the 65 step i get this error....

any idea what is going on?

Your simulation has had a divide by zero error. Usually this is because it diverged. You need to improve the numerical stability of your model with smaller timesteps, better initial conditions, better mesh quality or making sure your simulation is physically possible.

are you sure your units are all matching? i got this error when i was running a simulation and the problem turned out to be units.
