[SOLVED] calculation fails with SIGSEGV

[alberich]

Hello,

I am a bloody beginner using saturne. My first try, a flux in a pipe with a heated wall stopped with a SIGSEGV error (below the error file) in the "MAIN CALCULATION" ("listing" file) at the
INSTANT 0.100000000E+00 TIME STEP NUMBER 1

The data check (also the separate mesh check) and preprocessing was ok. All input was made using the native SATURNE GUI. The MED-mesh was made using the SALOME GUI. I tried to follow the simplest tutorials as close as possible (i.e. no user defined functions). I tried also to recompile saturne (3.0.0-betaR4215) and to use the nightly version instead. In vain. Can a bad input in the SATURNE GUI cause a segmentation fault?

Hello,

I have already encountered this errot, and we do need to trap it so as to provide a more explicit error message:

What I suspect is:

In the GUI, for some physical property, you indicated you would use a "user law", but did not define the matching user law. When the code reads the XML file, it does not find a string definig the user law, and instead of checking if the string exists, it crashes when trying to parse it.

So I would check your user laws for physical qauntities, and either complete them, or revert to constant quantities.

Regards,

Yvan

I missed that indeed.
Thank you.
