Star Setup Problem

Ed_89 · March 6, 2013, 11:01

I currently have a simulation at the stage where the 2D and 3D templates are trimmed and meshed, I then try and start the Star setup as in the tutorials and I keep getting this error:

There is no space for a collapsing layer above cell 1107. One possible
source of this problem is that the cells at the cylinder wall have been
trimmed, because the vertices of the cylinder wall shells are not at the
cylinder radius.

I have tried increasing the cell layers above and below but it does not help.

Any ideas??

Thanks

Ed

I solved the problem by using the 2D automatically generated template by ES-ICE. This seemed to run fine.
