Attached is the photo of the system. Our boundary conditions are&#8230;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- Heat Source: 350W located directly on the heat plate.&lt;br&gt;- Recirculating Opening: Using the two wholes seen in the pictures at 1L\/min&lt;br&gt;- Opening: Openings in the air system around the chamber.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We use the volume extract tool to get the interior geometry of the chamber and assign a water material to it. All the other geometry items in the chamber have been assigned a material.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The issue we keep running into is when we attempt to run the solution, we will constantly get a &#8220;Solver Failed because poor mesh quality, try increasing mesh quality&#8221;. Our mesh is currently at 18 million elements. Whenever we try increasing the mesh quality HDM service crashes. We are stuck trying to figure out what to do. For context we aren&#8217;t seeing any other populated errors in the Message Manager, and our school has purchased the full license for Icepack AEDT, so we are not on the student version.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Does anyone know if we might have something wrong in our model that is causing the solver not to run?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks!&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-398005","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-AEDTICEPAK-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_topic_id":["398005"],"_bbp_author_ip":["209.35.194.1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["398356"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["398356"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-12-23 17:25:45"],"_bbp_reply_count":["7"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["494736","2688"],"_btv_view_count":["677"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_edit_last":["494736"],"_bbp_revision_log":["a:2:{i:398033;a:2:{s:6:\"author\";i:494736;s:6:\"reason\";s:0:\"\";}i:398034;a:2:{s:6:\"author\";i:494736;s:6:\"reason\";s:0:\"\";}}"],"_bbp_subscription":["2688","494736"]},"test":"lgreen11una-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/398005","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":2,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/398005\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":398034,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/398005\/revisions\/398034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
