Hello, 

I am attempting to run chemkin via the command line via matlab and I am having issues when the thermo preprocessor with a specific mechanism. I wanted to know if there is a list of error code or signal code know or documented for chemkin.Any how here is what is occuring.

So, I have been able to the OFB reactor using the Glarborg mechanism, transport and thermo files. I have been also able to run another mechanism called FFCM2 and related transport and thermo files. I am attempting to use a reduced mechanism of FFCM2 but I have issues when attempting to preprocess the thermodyanmic files. I get the following error: 'ERROR condition returned from CHEM Licenses Released' 

I am trying to find documentaion related to this error but to no avail. I compared the reduced and full mechanism (FFCM2) and they appear to be no formatting issues. If anyone has any tips for this it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi David,

 

Could the you please provide us with the *.out files (should be in the working directory where the mechanism input files located)? It would be even better if you could provide us with the mechanism input files that triggered the error.

Please note, as per policy we cannot download attachments. If you can attach a screenshot, it would be great.

Hello V.V.,

 

After further investigation, I  discovered the reduced mechanism I downloaded had a formatting issue. There were third-body reactions that were not fully defined in the reduced mechanism. I notified the individual who posted the mechanism on GitHub, and it has since been fixed.

Hi David,

 

Glad the issue is fixed.
