Problems reported against this step
Section titled “Problems reported against this step”The application checks these before a run and reports them in the Problems tab against this step.
| Severity | Message |
|---|---|
| error | Force coefficients are scaled by … m/s but the inlet is … m/s. Every coefficient would be out by a factor of …. |
| warn | … measures the patch “…”, which this case does not have - most likely it was set up before the geometry was imported. It will not be written; pick one of: …. |
| error | Mean age of fluid needs an inlet to measure age from. This case has none, so the field would be uniform rather than wrong in a way you could see. |
| error | Thermal comfort is assessed from the air temperature, and this case does not solve for one. Turn the energy equation on, or take the control off. |
| error | Turbulence fields has nothing to write on a laminar case: there is no model to ask for k, epsilon or the Reynolds stress. |
… marks a value the application computes at run time, so the source carries no fixed text for it.
