Unknown error occured – Thermal Analysis

      Hi!

      I'm trying to perform a very simple thermal analyss, but i'm getting a:

      "An unknown error occurred during solution.  Check the Solver Output on the Solution Information object for possible causes."

      The Solution Information says that i have "NUMBER OF ERROR   MESSAGES ENCOUNTERED = 0"

      Model is very simple:

      • Half cylinder with a hole through
      • Ambient temp = 4degC
      • Internal temp = 121degC
      • convection load = 0.1W/mmWC

      Only getting to errors i the file0.err

      I have defined only thermal properties for my material: 

       

      Any thoughts?

      Hi

      Not sure exactly what it is – can you try solving with the default Structural Steel material instead of your own material.

      All the best

      Hi

      Try and save it in a local file and do not use strange characters for folder path and file name (.wbpj).

       

      Also turn off DMP (distributed solve).

       

      All the best

      Erik
