Hi everyone
I have a problem with my simulation, and i dont know where is the mistake. When i run the simulation, in the "Rotation interpolation data complete" step the solver exited.
Could someone help me?? i attached support file.
And, one more question, i have run some 2D simulations, and i want to know if in a 2D simulation cavitation could be simulated, because the result is % of vapour volume, and, in a 2D simulation, there is not a volume.
Lot of thanks to everyone!!
javier,
I replicated the solver failure as you have mentioned. I got some diagonstic information from the status file and it appears that there were some duplication in element face data that should have not been there. I forwarded your share file to a partner in development so that he can review this and determine what the problem is ( bad CAD, etc. ).
I did notice that if you suppress the solid nylon part, the analysis ran fine ( after I used a slightly finer mesh ).
Regarding cavitation, for 2D model, the volume is computed assuming a unit lenght in the 3rd direction. For example, with planar 2D geometry and using mm for units, we are assuming that the volume is the element area times 1 mm depth. For the axisymmetric models, the volume is per radian. Most of the cavitation data is written as % volume ( 100 % * cavitation volume / total fluid volume ).
