Not Divergence Divergence

My simulation had looked to have diverged but simscale never said it had actually diverged. My simulation was stuck on the 18th iteration for close to an hour. I got warnings that a potential divergence had occurred but simscale never cancelled the simulation due to a divergence. This was really unhelpful because it means I have wasted over 60 core hours by having to manually stop the simulation and I did not get a notification saying where it had diverged.

By the time someone sees this post I will have probably tried other things with my simulation so the run to look at is run 1 and mesh 1.

Simulation

Hi cyrus_costa,

Since you can run multiple simulations and mesh computations at the same time, manually cancelling a run or mesh computation should always be the last option regardless of how long it takes. Going forward, please report the ongoing simulation run, if you think it would not cancel on its own, although that is usually very unlikely.

These usually do finish at some point though. Take a look at this forum topic, for example: Unreasonable results

The project has similar warnings as yours, but it does finish. It only means however, that residuals need to be checked for individual levels of acceptance and mesh needs to be improved for the next run, if required.

Cheers!

so even though it was not making it past the 18th iteration for over an hour, I should still let it run?

How should I improve my mesh. Because as I think I stated earlier this mesh is exactly the same as previous models which were almost exactly the same. The change between this model and a previous model was with a part that is large enough so it should not affect divergences or cause bad mesh.

Also I am not able to view the project. I wanted to look at it because I wanted to view the simulation log. On my simulation there is something in the log I have never seen before (Image below). Everything below the black line in the image is stuff I have never seen in my simulation logs before.
