SubscriberHi,
I am facing an error related to heat transfer between interfaces. I am trying to run the simulation in cluster processor. I have used simply two cubes with a common interface. I shared the topology and maintained coupled interface wall. In local Ansys it is running smoothly. However activating energy equation, the cluster Ansys is showing the following error:
Error: Set_Thread_Variables: wta(real)
Error Object: ((constant . 0) (profile "" ""))
Error: Set_Thread_Variables: wta(real)
Error encountered in critical code section
I am not using any UDF just simple coupled heat transfer and with different velocity inlets temperature. I have checked geometries and tried many ways. This issue is arising only when energy equation is activated with an interfacial coupled wall. Where is the problem then, kindly help. -

Forum ModeratorPlease can you post some images of the set up? Including the coupled wall settings and boundary condition list.Â

Hi Rob,
My actual problem is a shell and tube heat exchanger. But for finding the error, I simply generated the following cube setup. All the boundary conditions are shown in the below picture. I am also sharing the journal and shell files I have used. As I said, in local ansys the simulation is running with no errors, but the cluster is showing the error just after reading the boundaries, I have also attached the image of that. Kindly help.

Forum ModeratorLooks OK. Can you initialise & run locally? Check the other wall boundary settings, and what is set on the outlets.Â

SubscriberYes, it is working fine locally and providing results with non-conformal mesh also. However, I need to run this on cluster. Any more suggestion?
Outlets are simple pressure outlet with guage pressure 0 and walls are no slip walls with 0 heat flux. -

Forum ModeratorThat's not a nonconformal interface, it's a conformal coupled wall. There's nothing in the journal that could be causing a problem, can you run on the cluster via GUI? What parallel settings are you using, and how many cores?

SubscriberI understand it is a conformal mesh. In local ansys both conformal and non-conformal is working. In cluster, without activating energy equation, it is working fine. However when energy is activated, its not working. I am using 1 node 32 cores for the cluster. The parallel settings are mentioned in the bash file attached above.

Forum ModeratorThere's nothing in the model that should cause a problem. Have you tried running on fewer cores? Which version are you running on?

SubscriberThank you Rob. The issue was with version. I was using a higher version of Ansys locally and changing my version worked properly. Thank you for your time and support.Â

Forum ModeratorThat'll explain it. Newer cases may read into the older solver, but occasionally things don't quite work right.Â
