Hi 

This appears to be a meshing issue. Do you encounter the failure immediately upon clicking the solve button?

Here are a couple of things to check:

  1. Geometry Errors: Please verify that there are no errors present in your geometry.
  2. Mesh Generation Settings: Try generating the mesh without using the patch-independent and virtual topology options. Use the global settings instead and see if the issue persists.



Best Regards,
Sampat
