code_saturne User's Forum

Hello every one , I am new with code-saturne , I am working on dc electric arc and went through many posts but still confused about how to set-up an electric arc case since there is not enough tutorial for the windows GUI , any help will be appreciated

Hello,

There is no tutorial for electric arcs. I need to check if I can provide a test case from the validation suite, so I'll keep you informed.

Hello Yvan
thanks a lot ,

Hello,

Which version of the code are you using ? I can send you a test case tomorrow, but need to know whether you need it in V4.0 or V4.3 type setup.

Hello Yvan
thanks foe the model, however I found some difficulties running it , although it seems ready to be run , I also could find a version of SIMAIL foe windows in order to study the mesh , any suggestion

Hello,

SIMAIL is an old tool, and I'm not sure there is a Windows version.

To study the mesh, simply run Code_Saturne in "check mesh mode" and postprocess the output.

thanks a lot Yvan
now regarding the implementation of the example case attached above , when I press the the start calculation button there no response at all , I don't even get a listing to figure out the error , what could be the reasons behind that ?

Hello,

This seems to be the same issue many people have mostly on Windows, and which we hoped was solved in version 4.0.5 (but it seems not).

It is a bug related to Qt/Python, but you can work around this bug by directy running the "runcase.bat" script in the case's SCRIPT directory.
