Bad termination error; cluster compute

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I'm running a comsol model on a cluster using the syntax:

comsol -clustersimple -nn 5 -f hostfile batch -inputfile <filename.mph> -study std1 -outputfile <ofilename.mph>

This runs if the number of domain elements are such that the memory required does not cross that which is available on a single node. Although I get an error saying Error on node 1, Error on node 2, ..., the outputfile contains results that I believe are complete.

If I run the case with increased number of domain elements such that the memory required is more than that available on a single node (the reason for which I would like to use cluster computing), the simulation runs for 20 or so minutes and ends with a bad termination error with Exit code: 9. I've attached a screenshot of the error. Ideas and suggestions? I'm using a FNL of course.

Thanks and regards,
