SUMMARY
The forum discussion addresses a fatal error encountered in a simulation involving surfaces in a chain, specifically "Fatal Error surface 2.1 appears more than once in a chain." The error arises when a surface is defined multiple times, such as in fills and cell descriptions, leading to warnings about deleted surfaces. The discussion emphasizes the need for high-resolution images of the error output for better diagnosis and notes that the VisEd tool, version X_ 22S, corresponds to X 2.6 from 2008, which may provide additional context for troubleshooting.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of surface definitions in simulation software
- Familiarity with fills and cell descriptions in modeling
- Knowledge of VisEd tool functionality and error reporting
- Experience with interpreting simulation output files
NEXT STEPS
- Investigate the configuration of surfaces in your simulation to prevent duplicates
- Learn how to interpret VisEd error messages effectively
- Explore best practices for defining fills in simulation environments
- Review documentation for VisEd X_ 22S and its error handling capabilities
USEFUL FOR
Simulation engineers, software developers working with modeling tools, and anyone troubleshooting surface-related errors in simulation outputs.
