I am doing meshing for high resolution .stl model (I set the finest resolution when importing .stl file from solidworks) under SMS mode and constantly encountering the following errors.
What’s more, I report the bug again that once I click the reset all default options, the tol_snap(0) = 0.0 appears, hope that can be fixed later. Thank you.
Thank you Jeff and your model works good but it needs 400 days to simulate 1 second which is horrific. So I want to know whether there exists some methods to simplify the computation of the model with tolerant errors. And what are the principles to do meshing for the model with delicate structure like tubes.
And I want to know whether the other methods will take much less time compared to TFM with acceptable precision.
And I want to know if I have no access to HPC personally, what is the most economic method to rent some computation resources? Thank you.
The initial estimate may not be always accurate. It is based on initial time step and convergence rate. It usually gets better once you pass the initial transient. It ran in less than 2 hours for me, using 160 cores.
You might be able to coarsen the mesh a bit, but the presence of internal tubes will require sufficient mesh resolution to capture the geometry.
