Hi Bastian:

The freezing problem is back with installation of 6.2. I am not sure why this will happen again. The work around I had figured out last time does not seem to work anymore. However, FEFLOW starts to respond randomly and freezes randomly during same runs.

Hi Bastian,

Thanks for looking into this. I contacted Sonia at the Canada DHI office and in turn she forwarded the issue to Bjorn.

I have in the meantime found a work-around. The problem seems to occur when we exit FEFLOW and it continues to run in the background (as indicated by windows task manager/processes). This happens all the time with FEFLOW 6.0 and higher. So, I have been making sure that I end process every time I exit FEFLOW. This seems to have worked so far. Let me know if you see a reason why FEFLOW continues to run in background.

Cheers,
Ranjeet

Hello All:

There was an original thread by scubohuntr which explained the freezing problem as below:

[i]FEFLOW 6.1 is locking up on me quite frequently. Almost every time I try to right click on a chart (apparently the only way to export temporal data) and most of the time when I try to edit observation points, the program freezes. Usually if I hit ctrl-alt-del and cancel the reboot it unfreezes it, until I try to do the same thing again. It's that "almost" that makes this really frustrating. It works often enough to maintain hope, but I am spending a LOT of my time trying to unlock frozen software. I have reinstalled FEFLOW, and I have tried several different machines to no avail. When it is locked up, the mouse moves and obviously the keyboard remains active, since ctrl-alt-del still functions, but I can't click on anything, and alt-tab will bring up the dialog but won't switch between active programs. I haven't seen the problem doing anything else yet, but right clicking charts or editing obs points will lock it up most of the time. Anyone have any suggestions?[/i]

I am having the same problem. Limiting the size of the output does not solve it. It is quite random. I haven't seen a reply to this from administrative team. Any suggestions?

I ran the ".dac" file in the postprocessor of FEFLOW Classic. I saved Geothermal budget export to a ".txt" while exporting budget for an interactively selected segment. To my surprise, the results of imbalance saved to the .txt are not the same as when I ran the original simulation or even when I run the .dac file and observe the budget panel. They are completely different. This is kind of baffling. Is there an explanation why this would occur?
