  Hi
  
  I am helping a colleague run Fluent on Linux machine from command line. Having generated .jou, .cas, .cdat, .msh and a UDF file (C file), I run fluent from terminal
  
  fluent 3ddp -g -t1 -ssh -i test.jou
  
  the calculation runs for a little bit and the fails with the following error
  
  Fatal error in one of the compute processes.
  
  here is the partial screen output
  
  > ;Solving the flow (initial)
  
  ;solve/dual-time-iterate 1 1
  
  adapt/ file/ server/
  
  adjoint/ mesh/ solve/
  
  define/ parallel/ surface/
  
  display/ plot/ views/
  
  exit report/
  
  I am not sure how to fix this error. Can someone please help.
  
  Thanks

  Suppose the text command should not have a ";" in front of it, that works as notation in programming, so fluent actually doesn't know what to do, so it print the text interface for you. You will see the same thing when you launch the GUI and simply press Enter key in the console window. My suggestion is remove the ";" and try again.
