Hello,

I encountered the following error while running my simulation on an HPC  using LS-DYNA R12:

*** Error 41434 (SOL+1434)

Error encountered in SPH neighborhood search routine.

Please check mes#### file for detailed information.

Based on another Q&A on this forum, I increased NMNEIGH in *CONTROL_SPH and ran the simulation again. However, the simulation terminated with the same error. In fact, the error occurred even earlier than before.First run: error occurred at 1.7 s of simulation time. Second run (after increasing NMNEIGH): error occurred at 1.2 s of simulation time. I am using LS-DYNA R12.

Could someone please help me understand: What is the most common cause of this error?

What is the solution?

Is there a way to prevent the simulation from terminating when this error occurs, or is the termination unavoidable?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello user,

Could you test any latest solver? R16.1 or R17?

The only version installed is 12.2.1

Is that the only solution for this error?

I can't guarantee that it will resolve. But the SPH code has undergone significant improvements from R12. It could help.
