SMSBug: No MFix Solver Found after clicking Generate in Mesher in SMS

[vinoddhiman]

While using SMS option, after clicking on Generate in Mesher, the error is reported that no solver was found while the solver should be selected after the mesh is generated. It could be linked with the issue that in my machine it does not show default solvers and every time solver needs to be selected from hard drive while running any case.

Again, I’m sorry for the delayed response, I’ve been very busy with the 24.3 release. This is a known bug in MFiX 24.2.3 which has been fixed in the new 24.3 release, which came out today. You can either upgrade MFiX (suggested), or if that is not possible, follow the advice in this post:

Empty Solver List

Hi @vinoddhiman Sorry for the late response, I’ve been on vacation and am just getting caught up with the user forum. Thanks for reporting this. It seems that MFiX 24.2.3 release did not recieve enough testing on Windows. We appreciate your pointing out this problem, it will be fixed in the next MFiX release (24.3, due late Sep/early Oct) For now the simplest way to fix this is Open the Miniforge prompt conda activate mfix-24.2.3 cd %CONDA_PREFIX% mkdir bin copy Scripts\mfixsolver*.* bin …

Thanks for your patience and helpful bug reports.
