Exit Code 11

[Anonymous]

Hey guys, can anyone tell me what exit code 11 stands for?

I'm running a quite big simulation and at the biginning it works well. The solver already computed several time steps (although it's not displaying them), but suddenly it just idles or rather stops. The log file says the job finished with exit code 11, although not all time steps are computed. However, the UI still shows that the computation is running and isn't doing anything at all.

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Autodesk community

Would it be possible if you share with us your model? I believe it would be better to look closer into it and help you resolve the issue.

Many thanks!

Sorry, but I can't share the model. I think I resolved the issue, though. The model had too many elements for the available RAM so the solver just crashed. I restarted the calculation with fewer elements and then it worked. Thanks anyway!

I still got a question, though. In the log file, there is a line saying 'output:CMPIExchange::ExchangeArrayMPI: array length is too large; Length = 1279298'. This appears after 'Solving kPhi 12' and after 'Solving kPhi 5'. Is this a problem or can it be ignored?

Hi 

Your model has probably more than 30 M elements and 6 M nodes. Or?

output:CMPIExchange::ExchangeArrayMPI: array length is too large; Length = 1279298 :  is just an informational message from the Accelerant Solver indicating that it is dealing with a very large model and it will have to resort to larger array lengths for message exchanges which are used by the solver.

Do not worry! It is not an error.

Yes, the model got around 38M elements 😉

Perfect!  So, this explains well the message you get on the log file.

I am glad that you were able to overcome the issue
