Dear all,

I want to use S2S radiation model for my simulation. But I recive an error while computing the view factors. The error is: "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open parameter file D:\Coupling Provide full path to I/O file D:\Coupling command to execute: "C:\Fluent.Inc\utility\viewfac2.1\ntx86\vfs216.exe " D:\Coupling Validation\2d-solid\2d-solid.s2s.gz Reading "| gunzip -c \"D:\Coupling Validation\2d-solid\2d-solid.s2s.gz\""... You must read in a view factors file or disable S2S model before proceeding.

Error: Failed while reading view factor file.

Error Object: ()

Error: Error reading "| gunzip -c \"D:\Coupling Validation\2d-solid\2d-solid.s2s.gz\"". Error Object: #f "

Some information about my model: My model comprises of solid and fluid domain. So I have a coupled simulation between solid and fluid. Is this the source of error? Thanks alot in advance for your advice.

Hi, Remove any spaces in the path where you are writing the viewfactor file. Eg. My Documents etc.. Basically, save it in a different path without the spaces.
