Hi -
I'm running an external aerodynamics simulation of a leg in a cycling shoe. Previous models worked fine but my new geometry fails when running simpleFoam with this error: mpirun detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus causing the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was: Process name: [[1404,1],1] Exit code: 145 In the Log.simpleFoam file for the new geometry (and in the forces.dat file) the forces and moments quickly start to spiral way way out of bounds in just a couple time steps (by E^22) and residuals go up. Below is the new simpleFoam log. Total force in the x direction in previous models stayed between 0.2 and 1.5 through every time step. Any idea where I should look for the error? Code:

Seeing as the job ran with your previous geometry, I'd suspect that your new geometry is not clean. Have you checked checkMesh results and y+? |

OK, it works now! I realized that it was running OK (results bad but solving) when I had layers turned off and it broke when I added layers to snappyHexMesh. So I decided to just make the layers more robust and changed nSurfaceLayers from 1 to 2 and added more external geometry smoothing iterations. Now it works!
