What are your computer specifications?
Anything under 40 GB of RAM might cause the Error!
You have 37M cells and you need approximately 1 GB of RAM
per 0.8M cells

To further check this:

what was the number of cells in the previous calculations?
what are your computer specifications?

Do you get a smaller ratio of cells per GB RAM with the earlier calculations
than with the latest calculation, then this is for sure the error source.

I hope this is the solution

Colin

I use a computer with a bi-xeon E5, 95Go of RAM. So I don't think there is a problem with RAM.

In this case, when I change the scheme of div(rho*phi, U) to linuearUpwind, the calculation run without problem but the result is very bad.

So what's happen with the limitedLinear scheme?

regards

Dear Vince,

sorry, when it comes to judge on how the schemes impair the calculation,
my knowledge is rather limited and I cannot help you.
However it would be also interesting to me what the solution looks like
to me.

regards

Hello Eric,

I think the your link has some problems. It doesn't open. Could you possibly post the right link?

Dear Ali,

I'm not sure if Eric will read your post, but the latest version of OF21 has a Wigley hull tutorial included in the LTSInterFOAM solver I think. Is that what you're looking for?

Ralph

Hey Hs,
You can see in the output that alpha1 is not behaving well, the min/max value are way beyond the range of [0-1]. Did you used setFields to 'fill' your domain and what are you trying to simulate? What is your output of "checkMesh -latestTime"?
Cheers,
Ralph

Hello guys,

I am simulating a planing boat with LTSInterFoam. I have simulated the steady problem with 0 DOF, but I want to simulate the history of craft's motion with 2 or more DOF. My question is how to implement the rigid body motion to the craft? Is the solver a good choice for transient problem or should I couple the solver with another rigid body motion solver?

any response is appreciated,

Best regards,
Ali

@Hs: did you also checked your BC's? When checkmesh is okay the error must be somewhere else....

@Ali: Check google for navyFoam of shipFoam...both for OF16. Certainly use interFoam as a basis since LTS isn't transient!

Cheers,

Ralph

Hi Ralph,

I searched the web and found a little documents about navyFoam that was not so useful, and some materials about shipFoam containing a set of folders(0 , constant, system) but it appears that the solver itself is not in the package. could you possibly give me the related materials about the shipFoam and navyFoam if you have or guide me how to find them?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ali

Hi all

Just a little question, maybe stupid but I would like to know if somebody have made some test with differents quality mesh on STL CAD? There is a dependence between the number and quality cells on STL CAD and final result in OpenFOAM?

Thanks a lot

sheers

Vince

Hi Ralph,

I checked the BCs and ran again. interDyMFoam was crashed again after 20minutes running. I attached the log file, Could you give some guide for me?

I am Sony, from Indonesia

now i am doing my Master thesis project by using CFD ansys 13 version. i intend to generate free surface simulation to predict ship resistance. the boundary condition in tutorial in term "free surface over bump" does not show good result. the simulation is always not finish. any body can help for explaining boundary condition used in free surface ship simulation in CFX? and may be also showing physical model that can be adopt?

Thank you

Hi Sony,

Right now you're posting in the OpenFOAM part of the forum...maybe you have more luck finding the answer that you need in the CFX forum?

Could you also remove one (of your two) post above?

Thanks!

Ralph
