Polymer thermal stress analysis, error: Out of memory during assembly

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear all,

I have confronted a problem when I wanted to simulate the polymer cooling process with "thermal stress" simulation. The Error showed: Out of memory during assembly. I noticed that the comsuming RAM was increasing quite fast when the simulation starts, then the RAM memory is not enough. I noticed that when I just simulate the thermal process, everthing was good. Only when coupling with the Solid Mechanics study, the problem happened. Could anyone give me some suggestions about the reason? I would assume it to be BC setting or multiphysics coupling. I would attacht the model here as well. Thanks!

Hi Sijie,

I would advise you to ask your question at support@comsol.com. For now I can tell you that there are a lot of issues with that model:

-It is 24 MDOF! -At least two symmetries can be employed, but probably it is actually 2D. -If it is 3D, swept mesh is better. -No constraints on Solid Mechanics => singular. -The last branch of the viscoelastic model is probably unnecessary, given the long relaxation time compared to the analysis time.
