Dear all,

I tried to simulate a discharging pipe in a tank with a velocity higher than flutter speed, which causes the pipe to oscillate in the tank. I ran this problem for 2s without problem but when I tried to restart the case at for example 1.9 s with the same time-step (I set the restarting point for fluent and Ansys mechanical exactly at 1.9 s), I got a "(DP 0) Update-Dynamic-Mesh failed. Negative cell volume detected." error.

I appreciate it if someone can help me

nWhat changes were made to the setup before the restart? Please be specific and include screenshots.nSteven

nThanks for the reply,nI tried to replicate the error but I got a different error this time. nWhat I do is save the file when the simulation finishes (for backup), and then save the file again somewhere else to continue the simulation. So for the last time ( when I asked the question) and this time (today) I used the same backup file (save it somewhere new so nothing happens to the backup file) and did the same procedure but this time I got this new error. nThis is what I did. I ran this simulation for 2 [s] with a time step of 0.01 [s] a week ago. It worked fine. then I wanted to continue the simulation, so today I changed the End time in system coupling to 2.1 [s]. and I get this errornSo, I tried to run restart it from 1.92 [s], so I first went to the setup part in the transient module and change the restarting time-step to 1.92 [s] (following image)nthen closed the Ansys mechanical and updated the setup, For the next step I open the solution part of the Fluent module and change the solution file to 1.9[s], and read it.nthen closed the fluent and opened the coupling module. Changed the coupling initialization to 1.9 [s]. nand then update the coupling and get this error (couldn't find R file).n
