Problem:
When running the program it stops without a warning. Running on an other computer gives the same result.
Why and how to resolve?
Solution:
After reviewing this user file it was determined that many things must be changed in their input data file:
a. All the elements on the tubes side must be on chamber 2 (nozzles T1, T2 ;elements of geometry 103, shell 102)
b. A tubesheet cannot be directly welded on an elliptical head : insert between the body flange 301 and the the elliptical head 303 a shell which has a length equal to the straight flange of the head + the height of the flange at least.
c. All the elements on the shell side must be on chamber 1 (body flange 301)
After the appropriate changes were made the model was able to run without issue.
