DEM/PIC system granular fluid

Hello,

I’m new in mfix-exa. The case I’m working with it’s already running in mfix, but it takes too much time, so I’m trying exa. Now I’m facing the error:

amrex::Abort::0::CUDA error 700 in file /home/stagiaire/mfix-exa/subprojects/amrex/Src/Base/AMReX_GpuDevice.cpp line 756: an illegal memory access was encountered !!!

I don’t know if anyone can help me? Here is the file:

pts_m_flip.stl (20.7 KB)

MiXER.inputs.txt (7.3 KB)

I don’t know what MFIX-Exa version you are using, but

use_stl

is not an MFIX keyword, and you have both

mfix.geometry = stl
mfix.geom_type = stl

The latter (geom_type) is not a valid key.

These are not the cause of your error, but you might want to clean this up. Loading in the MFIX-Exa GUI will catch these errors, as will setting

mfix.stop_for_unused_inputs = true

For what it’s worth here’s a preview of the geometry/regions:

There may be an issue with the definition of the outflow region (?)
It’s not shown in the preview, and the inputs file has:

regions.outflow.shape  = Box
regions.outflow.box.lo = 0.1545  0.0815  0.3020
regions.outflow.box.hi = 0.1815  0.1035  0.3020

Note that you have specified Box but the zmin and zmax coordinates are equal.

Hello again,

I changed the figure to .csg and see if that works. So first I tried to fix the fluid flow before introducing solids, however when I run the case it seems that there is no flow into the figure. What can I do?
