Solver crashing and issue with Mesh

I suspect there is some problem with the original stl file Aerolizer_1mm_share3.stl but I haven’t figured out quite what the problem is. Note that both DPIH_CFDDEM_FACETS_READ.stl and DPIH_CFDDEM_FACETS_IGNORED.stl contain no facets.

I’m referring to the first case you uploaded - I haven’t checked the new files yet.

The other thing that is strange is that the “Geometry parameters” section is empty:


and clicking on “-” to delete the geometry leads to an error popup.

so it seems that something has gone wrong when importing this STL file. I’ll let you know if I find out more. I am glad you are having better results with a different STL file.

A few general suggestions:

  1. Unless the aerolizer is 47 meters tall you probably want to set “STL file units” to mm.
  2. Click “autosize” to set the domain extents to the size of the STL
  3. In your “regions” setup, use “xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax/zmin/zmax” instead of numeric values.
