Hello,

I was trying to run my UDF in Fluent 2023 R2 to do a meltflow simulation. The udf seems to be good, building and loading went good. the initialtization is okay, but whenever I run calculation, I resieve this error: "===================================================================================
=   BAD TERMINATION OF ONE OF YOUR APPLICATION PROCESSES
=   RANK 0 PID 22572 RUNNING AT a074478
=   EXIT STATUS: -1 (ffffffff)
===================================================================================
 The fl process could not be started."

I am running in parallel mode. I am not sure what is the reason behind this failure.

Can you run any models on that hardware configuration?

Thank you for answering. Yes I've tried a simpler UDF and it was working fine, so I am not sure if the issue is with the parallel mode or with my complex udf.

If a simple UDF works, it's likely your more complex UDF. Was anything more diagnostic printed before the node failures? The section you pasted is just a node kill message, and I'm expecting something just happened just before that.

Nothing appeared before, there was a message that hyperid initialization is done then this error appears when I run calculation. So I have changed a little in the settings and this is the new error message that I recieved:

job aborted:
[ranks] message
