Connecting Caeses to xFlow (Windows)

[Mr. hjkl 3ff 0]

HI =)

 

I was trying to complete the XFlow Tutorial. I came to the point were i have to start the computation, but CAESES keeps: results are pending. My Processor isnt working ether.

 

in one of the logFiles i found an error:

2018-03-21 01:15:19 [ INFO  ] ## SIMULATION START ##
2018-03-21 01:15:19 [ INFO  ] XFlow Build 98
2018-03-21 01:15:19 [ INFO  ] Execution line: C:\Program Files\Next Limit\XFlow_2016\engine-3d.exe ahmed.xfb
2018-03-21 01:15:19 [ INFO  ] RLM license validation OK
2018-03-21 01:15:19 [ ERROR ] File not found
 

the other one worked correct:

2018-03-21 01:15:19 [ INFO  ] ## DOMAIN GENERATION ##
2018-03-21 01:15:19 [ INFO  ] XFlow Build 98

2018-03-21 01:15:19 [ INFO  ] Num cpus detected: 2
2018-03-21 01:15:19 [ INFO  ] Domain successfully generated.

 

here is my allrun.bat:

"C:\Program Files\Next Limit\XFlow_2016\xflow.exe" ahmed.xfp -genbinaries

cd data

"C:\Program Files\Next Limit\XFlow_2016\generateDomain3d.exe" ahmed.xfp

"C:\Program Files\Next Limit\XFlow_2016\engine-3d.exe" ahmed.xfb

cd ..

"C:\Program Files\Next Limit\XFlow_2016\xflow.exe" ahmed.xfp -exportdata=ensight exportfrom=3 -exportto=3 -exportdatatype=inst exportfields=vel,sp,cp

 

I hope you can help me =). I use xFlow 2016.

Friendly regards

It seems that CAESES is waiting for the results (which are not computed because of this missing file). Are all required files available in the corresponding directories?

[Mr. hjkl 3ff 0]

i think yes. but i am a bit confused by the file structure.

is there any way that i can uploud you my whole project ordner?

could it be a problem, that xflow creates a folder namend unnamed where it puts things inside and not into data?

[Jörg 29]

I'm not an XFlow expert so maybe others can also share their input to this topic. Of course, the folder structure is important to make it work, and should be clearly defined in CAESES and possibly in your used script files / arguments etc. (and then this should be identical). 

 

You can simply create a zip file and attach it to this post so that others can look at it.

ok got it working... in xFlow 2016 the standard data cache folder is called "unnamed" .. if you change it to "data" everything is fine

Excellent. Thanks for the information!

 

Good luck with your work,
