Hi,

So I am trying to simulate a planar SOFC using the fuel cell & electrolyzer module on fluent. I was following a certain tutorial on youtube. I followed all the steps and initialized but I am unsure as to whether the simulation is running or not. There is no progress bar at the bottom being shown, but in the task manager it shows background apps running utilizing the CPU.

You need to check the interface pairs, that may be a problem and Fluent is struggling to get going. How much RAM has your machine got?

I tried checking the interfaces, deleted the ones that I don't need. Still problem is persisting.

 

Also my PC has a RAM of 64 GB (it's a college PC that I am using it on).

Do you need to use interface zones? If you turn off the fuel cell module does the model run?
