Hi all, I purchased FEA for a hobby project along with reading a turbulent flow book.
The OpenFoam solver using k-epsilon and k-omega worked well for a 3d pipe geometry as well as for a T-junction with square cross section. However, when using a vortex geometry I am consistently getting the mentioned error after solving the flow fields using turbulence openfoam models. I believe this error occurs when you call a value that exceeds the matrix length and thus I think this a technical error and not an issue of an NaN value.
When I relaxed the stopping criteria to 2e-3 and I could also get a message in the log that the SIMPLE solver converged, but I was still getting the error.
(check the attached image).
Edit:
Surprisingly when I use CFDtool trial version, the Openfoam solver is working very well (check attached image). However, since I have purchased FEAtool I really need a solution for this.
I am attaching the model file for your reference. You can solve the openfoam solver for turbulent flow to reproduce the error(any kepsilon/komega model is ok)
