I've been trying to Run calculations on my model in Ansys fluent and it keeps coming back to me with a message saying 'floating point exception' i'm not exactly sure what i'm doing wrong! are there any tips that could help or is is there a problem with my boundary conditions

Floating point can mean a divide by zero is occurring somewhere. Check the mesh quality (skewness under 0.8) and also the boundary conditions & models.

 

As an aside, this would be better in the Physics -> Fluids part of the forum. I'll move it tomorrow.

moving to fluid dynamics. 

please check the mesh quality. 

please insert some images for the mesh and your set up.

hello thanks for getting back to me, i checked and improved mesh qulity but that didn't work either. Here's a screenshot of what i'm doing.

Can you add more information: Does it happen right away or after something? Do you have dynamic Mesh? Are you using UDF's? Please add more details otherwise we cannot provide any help here.

Hello, I think I got the same problem.

* It happens right away during the calculation
* I don't have a dynamic mesh
* I don't' know what UDF is

 

My mesh:
