CFX Solver exiting with error code 2

      Hi,

      I'm running a simulation on a propeller, and I successfully ran one already. In order to run a grid independence study, I made the mesh coarser (changed element size and changed refinement to face sizing) to reduce the number of cells by about half. Everything else in CFD-Pre is the same as before. Now the solver won't run and keeps exiting with error code 2. What could be the problem?

      The issue was, counter-intuitively, that there wasn't enough memory to run the simulation. I figured this out by checking the solver monitor log, and by allocating 1.5 memory under the solver manager advanced settings
