I use fluent watertight meshing to mesh my model. I created a preliminary mesh that is about 10M cells and it goes through my workflow completely just fine.<\/p>\n<p>I want to update area of the mesh so I then edit the mesh module by opening the watertight meshing module through workbench. I add a local sizing that I know is going to refine some areas of my mesh and therefore make the cell count larger but it is still within the constraints of my machine. I am using my company&#8217;s virtual machine that has 128 GB RAM to mesh.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, fluent then closes completely when surface mesh generation exceeds 75% completion (when it enters the remeshing stage). Like i said, it is not because of insufficient memory as it doesnt say that in the fluent output window. Actually fluent gives no indication of why it stopped meshing and closed. The fluent-error txt file just says abnormal exit.<\/p>\n<p>BUT the mesh finishes to completion if I mesh independently of workbench and the resulting volume mesh only has about 25M cells. but then I cant use the benefits of workbench on my project<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TLDR Fluent watertight meshing closes during surface mesh generation with no indications why if I try to make edits to the watertight meshing portion of my workbench project but meshes just fine if I do not use workbench<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-360949","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["59720","62"],"_bbp_author_ip":["168.143.243.14"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["279"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["360949"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["62","59720"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["361450"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["361450"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-04-10 07:36:14"]},"test":"gregory-harringtonkratosdefense-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/360949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/360949\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=360949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
