Autodesk Simulation Mechanical: Analysis Failed

[bigBboris]

New to this program.
I am trying to run an old thermal analysis created by my predecessor, and it fails after few seconds of running. There is a note "Analysis Failed" next to design scenario name, and no more info.
How I can look at what's wrong?
Could not find anything in Help.
Thanks,

Boris.

If you look in that folder you should see a bunch of files with a recent creation date, which are actually text files. If you are lucky one is called .log, have a read of that.

Cheers

No luck, no log file. Any other places?

One issue might be that the log files are turned off

I doubt you have any control over this but you could try SCR=NO as a command line argument

How to turn on log files? For SCR=NO, where should I type it?

Boris.

Don't know, I haven't used a mickey mouse FEA package. The user interface for mine consists of a single line of text.
