Hello, Segmentation fault could be due to multiple reasons. Here are some of my thoughts which might help you debug your model. If you want to isolate memory issues, you could try to run a simple case of steady incompressible laminar flow, with energy equation turned off.
In this blog I write about technology, programming, open source and Linux, both technically and in general. May contain traces of rant. A FAQ: User contributed answers regarding the definition of a segmentation fault; A "null pointer" explained; Answer to: NULL is guaranteed to be 0, but the null pointer is not? Resolving crashes and segmentation faults, an article from the Real-Time embedded blog. The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6 signal.h Re: Segmentation fault GoodfireGeorge May 21, 2013 7:43 PM ( in response to Harsh_v ) I dont if such a situation is possible with your specific problem but for your knolwdge, globally Segmentation fault might come from the operating system also when the API memory overflows beyond those given from the OS. Hence, faults in these registers will likely cause a segmentation fault. Spot allows each architectural register to be either protected or not protected via the binary translation mechanism. If a register is unprotected, instructions to duplicate the operation that uses the register and instructions that detect a fault in that register are both 7.2 Example Debugging Session: Segmentation Fault Example We are going to use gdb to figure out why the following program causes a segmentation fault. The program is meant to read in a line of text from the user and print it. However, we will see that in it's current state it doesn't work as expected Centos 5.3 tar and rpm give segmentation fault always - can you tell why from the strace? 1. Apache segmentation fault. 2. Apache Segmentation Fault. 1.

A running program has access to certain portions of the memory. For example, you have local variables in each of your functions; these are stored in the stack. Second, you may have some memory, allocated during runtime (using either malloc, in C) While using yum commands in a centos server(2.6.18-194.el5PAE #1), it throws 'Segmentation fault'. [root@server2 ~]# yum check-update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached
Nevertheless, this is a tutorial about segmentation faults, and on some systems, a stack overflow will be reported as a segmentation fault. (This makes sense because running out of memory on the stack will violate memory segmentation.) To diagnose a stack overflow in GDB, typically you just need to do a backtrace:

However, there is a long list of reasons why a core file would not be generated, and it may be located somewhere else entirely, under a different name.
