‘Floating point exception’ Message in Ansys fluent

      I've been trying to Run calculations on my model in Ansys fluent and it keeps coming back to me with a message saying 'floating point exception' i'm not exactly sure what i'm doing wrong! are there any tips that could help or is is there a problem with my boundary conditions

      Floating point can mean a divide by zero is occurring somewhere. Check the mesh quality (skewness under 0.8) and also the boundary conditions & models.


       


      As an aside, this would be better in the Physics -> Fluids part of the forum. I'll move it tomorrow.

      moving to fluid dynamics. 


      please check the mesh quality. 


      please insert some images for the mesh and your set up.

      hello thanks for getting back to me, i checked and improved mesh qulity but that didn't work either. Here's a screenshot of what i'm doing.

      Can you add more information: Does it happen right away or after something? Do you have dynamic Mesh? Are you using UDF's? Please add more details otherwise we cannot provide any help here.

      Hello, I think I got the same problem.

      * It happens right away during the calculation
      * I don't have a dynamic mesh
      * I don't' know what UDF is

      Hello everyone, excuse me I'm having an «error object... floating point exception » issue with my calculations and I don't know how to fix it. 

      The calculation process goes on for a couple of minutes (about 10) then it stops and I get that message. 

      I'm simulating a fluid flow (oil and gas separation in a cyclone) using ANSYS Fluent. 

      Thanks for answering

      The calculation process goes for a while then it stops and I get that message.

      Please post a new thread as it's going to be a fairly long one while we work through the problems and their cause. In the new thread please add what models you have switched on, ie phase, chemistry, turbulence etc.
