We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

In some cases mesh deformation can result in negative volumes and hence solver failure. How to avoid this?

  Suggestions for avoiding mesh folding (i.e. negative volumes): -Use a different Mesh Stiffness option. The default option may not be appropriate for your particular model. -Modify the Model Exponent. If negative volumes are occurring on the boundaries, increase the exponent. If negative volumes are occurring away from the boundaries, try reducing it from the default value. -Use the double precision solver -Set the convergence criteria for the Mesh Displacement equation to a lower value (e.g. 1E-05) and increase the coefficient loops to 10 or higher in CFX-Pre under Solver Control->Equation Class Settings->Mesh Displacement
