How to fix Solver error 4031 contact marc analyst

I am running a script from cmd in Marc 2019 and after aproximately 15 minutes the simulation stops running. It does not complete a single increment and there is no exit number. The only thing I could reach to see, is a message at the end of .log file which says "Solver error 4031 contact Marc analyst".

Can anyone help me with that?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Aurea,

The most common reason for exit 4031 is insufficient memory. Try running on multiple cores, with PARDISO solver and see if helps. Also, if possible run it on another machine with more resources. If the issue persists, an input file would be needed to investigate further.

Regards,

Kiran

Hi Kiran,

For the moment the solver I am using in my code is type 8, (multifrontal direct sparse solver) and I am running it with 8 processors.

I don't know about Pardiso solver, but I am going to check that and find another more powerful machine.

Thanks!

Hi Aurea,

If the model is large, it is better to turn on the out of core option. Sometimes switching to different solvers might help to resolve exit number 4031 which Kiran has already suggested to you.

Please refer the attached image to turn on out of core option in Mentat.

Thanks for that advice Shivaprasad! I will also try it. For the moment I can say that I tried solving in the same computer with Pardiso solver and 8 procesor and I obtained the same error.

However, I tried running the simulation with a simple processor and it worked, which I do not understand really why...

Thankss!
