The solution diverged

Hi, I am trying to simulate a data centre.

The problem I believe is being caused by the barrier that I have created in the model to separate the cool and hot isles.

I keep getting an error during the run for the simulation, does anyone know a way to keep the barrier in place but so that it doesn’t cause the mesh to have problems???

Thanks,
Steffan.

Hi!

I can see that the error messages gives you two actions to take:

  • Review the mesh quality
  • Lower the relaxation factor for the pressure field

Did you already attempted these actions? What was your result?

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

I am not sure exactly how to lower the relaxation factor.

I changed the geometry and tried the mesh again, This time using a edge blend:

I think what was happening was I had an excluded object touching a unexcluded object (blue barrier in the model), so when the computer does the calc it would start to diverge towards that point. The curved surface should also make the mesh better I hope.

The simulation worked after I changed the geometry :slight_smile:
