Hi I am really in need of help. I am in my last weeks of my thesis and i require a cluster to solve my simulation of a room with a ceiling fan. The computer now cant solve it, too little memory. But then I put it on a cluster at my school, took the definition file from the run of my simulation, so long if went until it stopped (1st iteration).

But after the cluster I only get a .dir file and a .out file. No res file is created, how can I solve this and have I maybe done something wrong with the definition file?

I got a input file too from my school.

Thanks for any help

If you have problems with the simulation you should look at the .out file, what are the error messages?

[miquiita]

I just get this all the time of all simulations, even a dummy simulation of a ANSYS program I made and solved on my computer.

There is no error messages in the out file so the problem does not appear to be in CFX. It looks like it was running fine. Have you run out of disk space? Or has something else (like a maximum job run time) killed the job? Or someone killed the job manually?

Hi ghorrocks,

I have no idea if someone canceled it. By the script file I got from my university is here, where the INPUT file is my name of the definition file. I realised this goes empty after the cluster runs it.

You are running 1 node / 4 cores for 1000 hours? Are you sure that does not trigger something that will shut down your simulation? Try to reduce the time to 1 hour? Also, any information in CFX.err or CFX.log?

Thanks I try that. Update you.
