Python script maximum timeout exceeded


When this error occurs, you will be prompted with the following error message:



This error occurs when you are running a simulation with a Python script set to Manual and Ashes has not received any information from the Python script for a time longer than the Maximum waiting time set in the Preferences. This can be because
  • the Maximum waiting time is too short and you script takes longer than that time to compute a time step. In that case, you can increase the Maximum waiting time.
  • your Python script has crashed, or has entered an infinite loop. 
  • you are debugging your Python script, and you have stopped it for more than the Maximum waiting time.
  • you have closed your Python script while the simulation was running.
