Thank you, Mehran.
I have picked up the service request and sent you already some correspondence.

Dear Stefanos,

I sent the requested model.

Hi Stefanos,

Thanks for your answer!

I tried to run the code with the Paradiso solver in the very failed versions, changing the solver manually to Paradiso. There, the program encountered error code 20, which is I think the equivalent to error code 204, but for Paradiso.

Generally spoken, I would like to stick to Picos, since it's, as far as i know, the fastest solver. As i want to run an automation creating hundreds of models, choosing Paradiso would be less efficient.

I did change the numerical controll parameter as last step, since I knew that you strongly advise not to do so in general. Because I ran out of options to get rid of the error 204, I tried it as last option. Sadly it failed, too.

Dear Martin,

I ran the code and I did encounter the error 204 in one of the models. For me, it happened in model Run_8.p3d and for Phase_5.

Note that this error is related to the Picos solver. This means that the iterative solver encountered an issue due to slow convergence and therefore failed to solve the matrix.

I noticed that you have edited the numerical control parameters which we do not advise as it has a direct impact on the progress of the analysis. For instance, I can see that you have increased the tolerated error and the max number of iterations. Please carefully check the Reference manual on these parameters to ensure a stable analysis.

In some cases switching to Pardiso solver can overcome problems encountered with Picos solver.

As a side note, I would advise you in your script to s_o.close() Output program at each iteration (clearing up the opened windows) and re-open the new project with g_i.view(g_i.Phases[-1]).

If you still encounter problems with one of the projects, please submit a service request.
