Continuum-type
 

Hi, I am working on Gambit and I have some difficulties to open properly my export file on Fluent. I am doing a 2-D geometry which represents a metal hydride system in a container with a leak. The instability cause by the leak will make the desorption of hydrogen possible. Everything is all right except than I am unable to set the continuum-type. When I set it, Fluent send me the error message as the following: "1 (mpsystem.c@1210): mpt_read:failed:errno=104 1: mpt_read:error:read failed trying to read 4 bytes: Connection reset by peer" I don't understand this message and I am unable to find the solution. If I don't set the continuum-type, Fluent is able to open my file and I can work on it. Of course, I am not able to modify the default zone. The model is simple and I don't think that I make a mistake (well I hope so!) in doing the face and the mesh on it. I suppose that I have a misunderstanding of the continuum-type versus the boundary-type.

With some help, we found where was the problem. If you get this message when you are using the fluent 6.1.22 on platform linux with windows xp OS, "999999 (mpsystem.c@1210): mpt_read: failed: errno = 104 999999: mpt_read: error: read failed trying to read 4 bytes: Connection reset by peer EOF on stderr. The fluent process could not be started" you must do the following step to open properly your file: 1-open Fluent on serial solver instead of parallel solver 2-save it with the serial solver and 3-open the .cas file on the parallel solver.

It seems there is a kind of bug when we try to open a mesh file with continuum-type conditions in fluent parallel.

I hope that this message will be usefull to some people.
