Overview

The thermal solver displays user information, warning, and error messages in the Solution Monitor at run time and in the log files.

Information messages
Highlight the progress of the solve and conditions in the input file. These messages appear at various places in the output.
Note:
The information message number is not displayed, only the content.
Warning messages
Indicate problems with the input file that should be corrected. The solve continues, but the output might not be as expected. These messages appear at various places in the output.
Fatal messages
Cause the program to terminate. These messages appear at the end of the output.

The thermal solver writes messages 1000 to 9999 in the <simulation/model name>-<solution/analysis name>.log and <simulation/model name>-<solution/analysis name>_verbose.log files and 10000 to 13999 in the <simulation/model name>-<solution/analysis name>_report.log file.

The multiphysics executable writes messages 14000 to 14999 in the <simulation/model name>-<solution/analysis name>.mplg file.

The mapping executable writes messages 15000 and onward in the <simulation/model name>-<solution/analysis name>.log file.

Nomenclature

At run-time, the thermal solver adds solution-specific information in the messages. This information, replaced at run-time, is contained in the angle brackets <> and uses the following nomenclature:

  • <ID> - any integer value that is an ID for an entity in the model or solution, such as element number.
  • <number> or <integer> - any integer value that is not an ID.
  • <value> - real value of a variable or quantity computed by the solver, or specified in the model and solution.
  • <name> - string that is a name of an entity in the model or solution.
  • <string> - any other string.

This list is not exhaustive.
