CFX 5.6 memory problem with solver
 

I was analysing a problem contains poros medium with total domain length of 3.45 meters. i came across this error. i request your suggestions to get over this problem

I tried to increare the integer stack memory upto 1.9x randomly starting from 1.2x. my system configaration is p 4, 1.8 GHz, 526 Mb RAM

plz send ur suggestions.

a problem on convergence in stage interface
 

Hello,I meet a convergence problem in rotor-stator- interaction calculation,the interface is stage model,i can not get a convergent result.but i have used frozen rotor model to calculate,i can get a good result whose maximum residuals are less than 1e-5(the chosen turbulent model is k-w ,SST model). who has some ideas to solve my problem?

thank you

Hi Sreevisakh,

Why not just increasing the integer memory until it works? Why did you stop at 1.9x? Hopefully it will work before you run out of memory.

Hi Glenn, Thanxz to u to pay attension for my problem and ur suggestions. I re-wrote the PRE to another fashion in designing the total domains by splitting it into 7. Previously it was a single domain which I made by the union of different meshes. now i separately defined it. now it is working properly at 1.2x. Once again thankz to u. Sreevisakh
