hi i was wondering if anyone could help me.
i'm busy with an analysis for gas cooling uptakes of a furnace. Im struggling to get the analysis to run, ive created 3 domainds one for the water & another for the steel & another for the gas. ive also inserted all my interfaces between the surfaces. but it does not want to solve, it gives me the error "ERROR #001100279 has occured in subrutine ErrAction
MESSAGE :
>Floating point exeption : Overflow.

can someone please advise me on wat to check/change.
If anymore information is required just let me know i'll be more then willing to put up some screen shots or watever is needed...

regards
julian

Your simulation has diverged. You need to improve the numerical stability. Try to fix any boundary or physics problems, smaller time steps, tighter convergence, better mesh quality.

hi i did end up changing the mesh to a higher quality. But now it gives me the error:

| ERROR #002100012 has occurred in subroutine cVolSec. |
| Message: |
| A negative ELEMENT volume has been detected. This is a fatal |
| error and execution will be terminated. The location of the first |
| negative volume is reported below. |
| Volume : -0.1104E-10 |
| Location : ( -0.48073E+00, -0.44146E+00, 0.57380E+00)

please advise?

thanks

CFX assembles control volumes from your mesh. Some of these volumes are negative. The mesh quality is still too bad.

In order to find the region load the def-file into post, generate a point and copy the given location to the coordinates. It will show you where the negative volume is. Go back to meshing and improve it there.
