There are no Solvers in the System

Post by mintento »

Hi, I am very new to Elmer and I am trying to simulate a heat transfer process on a brick wall with conduction, convection, and radiation. However, this error appeared on the Solver Log (attached below).

What should I do? I tried searching this error on the Forum's search bar and as far as I know there are no forum with this error return.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much

need to post your sif file and if possible your mesh
search this forum, this solution has appeared many times.

Hello,
In section "Equation 1", there is no solver indicated!
You should have a line of that type in this section

Active Solvers (1)= 1

But also you should have at least one solver section which tells which equation you are solving!

See examples in /elmerfem/fem/tests of the source code.

Regards,
Olivier

If you are building the sif with ElmerGUI you need to check the active solver box when you create an equation.

try doing some of the Elmer tutorial files
