Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to model a truss block for a tunneling boring machine and I am having various issue.

Modeling with Design Modeller In ANSYS R17.0, and in Explicit Dynamics

First I had to solve the error saying Problem terminated...Energy error too large by inputting the same quantity of cycles in maximum Number of Cycles and Reference Energy Cycle

Then I got this error message: Error writting history file.

 

I do get some results but clearly not the entire process is completed and some force are missing:

Has anyone encountered the same issue before?

 

Having modificated the number of cycle, will it impact the results?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help,

 

Jules

Did you run out of disk space?

[Jules]

Hi Peteroznewman,

thanks for your quick reply

It is true that I am low in disk space, but I have 3 GB left. How much space would you recommend me to free to run the file?

Dear Peteroznewman,

Thanks for your help so far, I actually went on freeing some space on my disk and with 10 GB left I finally could run through all the cycles.

I have some more question if you may:

 

Here below, you can see that I am not able to run the solver again when doing a right clic on the Solution. Any Idea why that might be?

 

Also, I can't seem to figure out why the corner of my block disapear when they enter the red spectrum of stress, see below:

 

Thanks in advance for your reply,

Jules

Right click on the Solution Information folder under the Solution branch. What do you see?

When I submit a job for Background Solve, I get that kind of green lightening bolt.

Maybe you can Clear Generated Data and start the Solve again.

I recently ran a Transient Structural model and it used up 1.1 TB of disk space!

1.1 TB! Cheers to that!

When I right click on the solution information folder, I get this

It won't even let me clear the generated data. Odd...

If you don't see any trivial solution, I'll just remodel the whole thing.

I have one more question though, would'nt it be best suited to model this block + rebars in static structural analysis?
