Dear All,

I have tried to prepare a small problem for THM modeling which will be basis for my large problem. OGS is not able to execute time steping and stops abruptly.

Thanks in advance for extending help.

Dear Amit,

I think problems are in your GLI and MSH file (also you have not included any flow processes, you may go, LIQUID\_FLOW or TWO\_PHASE\_FLOW). Please correct to input files according to the benchmarks.

[https://svn.ufz.de/ogs/browser/trunk/benchmarks/THM](https://svn.ufz.de/ogs/browser/trunk/benchmarks/THM)

or

[https://svn.ufz.de/ogs/browser/trunk/benchmarks/TH2M](https://svn.ufz.de/ogs/browser/trunk/benchmarks/TH2M)

Afterward, OGS able to execute time stepping and will not stops abruptly as currently.

Regards  
Ashok

Hi  
I had a real quick look in case it was something obvious. There is something wrong with your .NUM file. If you run OGS using a command line, you get an error message relating to the NUM file. Also I note that there is no fluid flwo in your model, although you have fluid flow parameters defined in the mmp file. I suggest you try and find a benchmark which is as close as possible to your model, then alter the benchmark bit by bit until you get to your model.  
Regards  
Chris
