Solver quits without results saying Return Code 15
Hi there,
i am working on a student research project dealing with the flow around a wind rotor. I am using a mesh with about 1 Million Hexas constisting of two domains, one rotating and one still. My problem is that the solver quits randomly (sometimes after 3 iteration another time after 15) with Return Code 15. Does anyone know what this means? Please help. Kind Regards |

Hi Kramer,
What operating system are you working on? In Unix (AIX,IRIX,SUNOS,HPUX,LINUX) 15 can be a SIGTERM from the system or at login out.. Regards, Juan Carlos |
Re: Solver quits without results saying Return Cod
Thanks for your hint, but im running a windows xp based system (2 Nodes, 1 x Athlon XP 2,2 GHZ 2GB RAM,1 x Pentium 4 3Ghz 2 GB Ram). I was able to make a run with 256 iterations and again there was the error message from the solver. Return Code 15?? Is there something like a list for the different Codes XX where it is described what they mean ?

Hi,
That code comes from the OS (windows in your case).. CFX usually writes messages of different kinds. You can always contact CFX support.. Good luck, Juan Carlos |
Re: Solver quits without results saying Return Cod
Well, it doesnt seem to be a windows code since it is the solver saying:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ An error has occurred in cfx5solve: The CFX-5 solver exited with return code 15. No results file has been created. +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ End of solution stage. How should the solver reveal a OS-message? What do You think? |

Hi,
Can you post the last page of the output file? That might help diagnose the problem. Glenn Horrocks |

Hi Glenn,
here are the last two iterations. The simulation crashes everytime at a different iteration number, so i don't think that it is a problem with the mesh,Pre or BC. Do you know that behavior?
