SOS! HELP! max number of cells :(

Jas

I desperately tried to work it out this problem and i really hope someone could help if you'd ever came aross the similar situations.

I have increased the max. number of cells to be used for BFC grid system, for both y and z direction. I changed the size of F-array in photon.for file where IFSIZE has been changed to a bigger value than the default setting in PHOENICS. Therefore i managed display the geometry successfully when i increased the number of cells that i used.

However, when i try to run the simulation (running the earexe.exe), the error message popped up and i cant even run the simulation. After many many many testings, I found out that it is due to the increase of these number of cells that are actually CAUSED the problem. I can only run my simulation with less number of cells.

In order to successfully run the simulation with more number of cells (say 200 in z-direction and 150 in y-direction) I really dont know what other settings i need to change again in PHOENICS v3.5.

Could anybody help.

sad, Jas
