overlap command corrupts the database

overlap command corrupts the database

(OP)
Hello Ansys users,
I am solving a problem of plate with many small circular areas which represent pits. When I subtract or overlap this areas with the main plate area , the operation is succesfull , but when I save the database and resume it, I get the following error message
"An unexpected error (floating point exception)has occurred. ANSYS internal data has been corrupted.ANSYS is unable to recover and will terminate.Previously saved files are unaffected"
CAn anybody help me with this problem.
regards,

RE: overlap command corrupts the database

Hai,

 Have you tried exporting the data base in archive format using cdwrite after the operation.This sometimes resolves the issue.

  Import the same using cdread command in new file.

With Regards,

Hi logesh,
I have done that.And I have done quite a few other things.
Like overlap the areas by taking small sectors rather than full plate and all the circular disc shaped areas on it.
It works for some time but it is not able to perform the "save db" and "resume db" operations afterwards.
regards,

RE: overlap command corrupts the database

Just out of interest are you using Ansys 5.6 on an HP machine?  If so the fix is to dl a patch from HP called the "3D Common Runtime patch".

If not can you post the details of ansys version and machine.
