CHT FATAL I/O Error

Hi ,

I got this error while running the chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam process on Simscale.

"polling iterations : 0

exactly when Open MPI kills them."

Thanks in Advance.

Hi @bloodyzohair,

did it happen in a public project? If yes, could you post the link here such that one can take a closer look?

Thanks,

Hi @dheiny ,

The simulation is “cht” and run as “CHT1”.

Thanks in advance,

Hi @bloodyzohair,

thanks! Looking into it + getting back to you asap!

Hi @bloodyzohair,

I had a look a your simulation. The issue is that you don’t have a multiregion mesh in the way it is currently supported. I would suggest following steps of our tutorial ‘Hex-dominant parametric’ tutorial for a multiregion mesh for Electronics cooling. It should be straightforward.

You should be able to start with your simulation once the issue with the mesh is resolved. The setup looks correct.

Hi @dheiny und @gholami ,

Thank you very much for the instant response and apologies for late response. I am currently working on it. Will report the feedback upon succesful completion.

Hi @bloodyzohair,

excellent - let us know how it goes!

Hi @dheiny,

I am experiencing problems with the bounding of the base mesh box around the multi region mesh geometry. A manual value input is giving me an unwanted result. Please help.

UPDATE :

Manual entry of limits of base mesh box and material point.

Hi @bloodyzohair,

did it happen in the same project? So shall I re-import it?

Hi @dheiny ,

Yes. It happened in the same project. I think importing it again would really help.
I was wondering the problem might be either with the geometry format or the Material point definition.
Found no discrepancies.
Will be rechecking,

Hi @dheiny,

Found the problem in the material point definition. It was supposed to be in the fluid region but instead was defined in the solids region.
The system meshed it finally, although theres a lot of tweaking to be done.

Hi @bloodyzohair,

glad that it worked out. You’re right, we’re currently looking into more automation steps for the meshing workflow, that there are more settings pre-configured adaptive to the geometry. Is there any specific that you’d like to see changed when meshing?

Thanks for your feedback!
