** WARNING 312080 ** Solution diverged in the part-mold iteration
Explanation
The steady state mold solution failed to convergence. There are various reasons why this might happen, including very poor mesh quality, complex geometry contact, poor cooling system design, or even selection of a material with unusually high heat conductivity. It is also possible that the solution is converging, but too slowly for the specified conditions.
Resolution
The first approach, and most likely scenario, is to assume that the mold solution is converging, but very slowly. In this case, you could either:
- increase the number of iterations, or
- increase the convergence tolerance
The second possibility is that the solution will not converge under the current conditions. In this case you will need to check and fix problems with the
- mesh
- model
- cooling system design
- material.
