      I'm getting an error   Error: arg(3rd) out of range in substring. I tried to mesh a simple pipe 500mm diameter by 1500mm. Still the same error but I have only 5215 vertices ?

      This is strange. Can you please open a new session try it again. 


      What kind of geometry format you are importing?

      Morning, 


      I'm not importing. I created the pipe (and  the previous bodies that gave the same error) in SpaceClaim.


      If I don't select "Add local sizing", this error doesn't come up. Then I can create a much more complex body and still mesh it.


      In this complex body, the mesh went up to 105175 boundary nodes, 207326 boundary faces and 1163223 cells in the volume mesh. No error. In the academic version we should be able to go up to only 512k ?

      With student version you can only solve 512K. Check following link.

      Ok. But I managed to mesh and "calculate" the equipment. It just didn't want to "write to the server". Then I get this message - exactly as you said.


      Two questions. First - how do I change my type of "report" to see the thermos zones in the reactor?


      Secondly - Can I introduce a second stream into the reactor and send particles with this second stream into the reactor ?


      Here is the SpaceDesign of the reactor

      as you can mesh it, please mark this as 'Is Solution' to help others.


      it will be good to create new thread for solver questions.
