Error code = 18.  Please send the data leading     to this operation to your technical support provider, as this will        allow ANSYS, Inc to improve the program."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>This error code 18 is a write error. This could occur due to permission issues, network communication problems at the time of the write, or even a virus scanner checking the file at the time of the solve. However, in the majority of cases, this error occurs due to disk space being full &#8211; either the total drive space or the allocated space within the user account folder (Scratch directory).  Please make sure that you have adequate hard disk space available for the run. A rough guideline for required space can be found at the following link in the Ansys help: https:\/\/ansyshelp.ansys.com\/account\/secured?returnurl=\/Views\/Secured\/corp\/v194\/ans_per\/perlineqsolv.html  If one can confirm that there is enough disk space, first determine if the analysis will solve w\/o error in Shared Memory Processing (SMP) mode (i.e., Uncheck Distributed Solution under Tools>Solve Process Settings>Distribute Solution). If this solves, then the user can also try Distributed Memory Processing (DMP) mode as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-162067","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-general","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["1-24-2023  20:20:08"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.56.168.180"],"_btv_view_count":["2047"],"siebel_km_number":["2060684"],"product_version":[""],"km_published_date":["2019-09-04T19:42:38.000Z"],"family":["Structural Mechanics"],"application_name":["Mechanical"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/162067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/162067\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
