SubscriberHello everyone,
I am beginer user with CFX. Could you please help me with error of CFX: Update failed for the Solution component in CFX. The solver failed with a non-zero exit code of : 2. This error hapened when i started rted Solution.
I did not find anytthik about this error in the internet.
Please, help me or tell me where i can find something about this type of error. Thank-you

Ansys EmployeeDo not use any initialization file. Just domain initialization. Does it help? -

SubscriberSorry, i am not exactly understand what do you meen about - domain initialization.
-
February 11, 2020 at 5:24 pm
DrAmine
Ansys EmployeeSorry but that is a basic thing which you should practice. Under domain there us tab for initialization. And on the solution cell tell workbenches that initialization is solver controlled. How did u create the case? Are you connecting it with another cell upstream? -
