Advanced Simulation

[lurks]

Does anyone know anything about using the Advanced Simulation tool through Unigraphics? I have tried to perform an fea on many different parts that I have created and get the same error message. I have attached a screen shot of the error message that I am getting. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Check the Read/Write protection on your NASTRAN files/folders.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by that.

Since the error message alluded to the fact that you can't access certain files, it's possible that you don't read/write priviledges to those same files.

It is also worth checking that NX Nastran was installed at all. It is a separate install to NG now (whereas Scenario was installed as part of UG). Also check the paths set in the dpv file point to where NX Nastran was installed.

How can you determine if NXNastran is installed?

Check the "ugii_env.dat" file in your %UGII_ROOT_DIR% directory.
Look for following variables: UGII_NX_NASTRAN and UGII_NX_NASTRAN_VERSION.

And don't forget to restart NX.

Why did you choose the structure that you did? Why not the obvious structure that I've choosen with 'assembly4-jrb.prt'? Remember to keep it simple.

John,
I can not open the file that you sent me because they were created on a newer version than I have. I am using NX4.0.

All,
Is there an easy way to go from Advanced Simulation back to Modeling? I have been having to close all part files in order to get back into modeling.

Lurks,

I'm sorry, but that post was intended for another thread. Not sure how I messed up.

Must have had a 'senior moment' ;-)
