error when iterating

October 31, 2006, 02:18

Hi!

I have a problem, when starting my simulation (3d, segg solver, k-w, 4 sym-planes) following error appears:

Error: cx-xy-plot-data: invalid number

Error Object: nan

I have a residuals monitor and a velocity surface monitor at the outlet of the domain.

What is the problem?

if you write your surface monitor in a file, check that the path is ok

Hi!

I solved the problem:

I accidentally defined the outlet of the volume as mass flow inlet. So I hade two inlets and no outlet (the other faces are wall or symmetry BC).

It works fine now!!
