CFX Error: Unsupported physical type
 

Dear all,

I am simulating a blood pump with CFX, but an error accured:

Error #001100279 has occured in subroutine ErrAction
Message:
FBCTYP: Unsupported physical type

Error #001100279 has occured in subroutine ErrAction
Message:
Stopped in routine FBCTYP

I don't really understand where went wrong. Your help will be very appreciated!

Please attach an image of what you are modelling and your output file including the error.

It seems there is an unsupported boundary condition type. Either a defect in the software since the boundary types are well specified in the UI, or some strange combination triggered the error.

As Glenn suggested, your output file will help a great deal to diagnose the source of your problem

Here it the whole output file and a picture of what I'm simulating. Let me know if you need any further questions. Thank you in advance!

There are several issues with the setup; however, let us try to make it run first.

I noticed an expression for torque()@REGION: Impeller. Is that region the surface of the rotor (2D region), or the volume of the impeller (3D region), or the mesh assembly for the impeller (2D+3D region). If any of the last two, that may be the problem.

I would start by removing any reference to a REGION:xxx, and go from there.

Thank you! I tried your method and solve the problem it really is the location error. Sorry for the late response and thank you again.
