Getting forrtl: severe (24): end-of-file during read, unit 8

[LongLe]

My FEA software crashes every time I run a mechanical event simulation. See attached pic showing error message. It has no problems running static analysis. I have attempted running a tutorial file included with the install to determine if the problem was operator-error on my part and had the same error message come up.

 

[GBor]

This error is probably bigger than a web forum can handle, but let's give it a shot anyway:

What version of the software are you running?

Have you updated all of your drivers?

In your simulation, are you simply dropping a block? Or do you have contact surfaces and other complexities?

What are your computer system specs?

Are you running the software off of a network? Or locally?

Is the file located on a network?

Do you have rights to the event simulation capability?

Is your license node-locked, or floating?

Have you checked to make sure your video card can handle the simulation output?

At one point in the analysis does this error occur? Immediately? After the model verification? Memory Allocation? During the analysis?

I'm sure there are more questions, but this is a start.

Maybe I am missing something but I am not seeing the attatched file

 

[LongLe]

Sorry looks like it didnt post. Thanks for the response guys. I am gathering the information right now

 

[LongLe]

What version of the software are you running? 23.1

Have you updated all of your drivers? You tell me - I don't have permission to check.

In your simulation, are you simply dropping a block? Or do you have contact surfaces and other complexities? Using the piston tutorial. Error occurs in other models as well.

What are your computer system specs?

-Processor: Intel Pentium D 3.4GHZ

-Video Card: Nvidia Quadro FX 1400

-Memory: 4 GB

Are you running the software off of a network? Or locally? Local

Is the file located on a network? File is local

Do you have rights to the event simulation capability? Yes

Is your license node-locked, or floating? Node-locked (I think)

Have you checked to make sure your video card can handle the simulation output? How does one do that?

At one point in the analysis does this error occur? Immediately? After the model verification? Memory Allocation? During the analysis? Error occurs during analysis.

Sorry about this part "Have you updated all of your drivers? You tell me - I don't have permission to check. " No not all drivers are up to date

LongLe,

23.01 is the latest build of the software (I think) so you should have full customer support from Algor. What did the folks at Algor have to say about your problem?

 

[LongLe]

To look online to see if I can find out anything and then to call them back if I still have issues...

 

[Zapster]

LongLe,

I would have told them that there is no need to call back if you have issues because an answer like the one you posted would have given me some real issues with the support group at Algor.

Contact your sales rep and request a contact number for someone who will help. I have been harsh on the folks at Algor in the past; however, with this type of customer support it sounds like Algor may be going out of business.

 

[Dengr1]

I have had similar (very bad) experiences with algor support. We just had them in for training and it was a complete disaster. Anyway I know this does not help you solve your problem LongLe. You might want to see if there is a description of this error message in you help menu. Algor does have some standard error messages listed there although this does not seem to be an error message. Error or warning messages are coded differently. You might also try and see if you can run the analysis on a different machine. If the problem is duplicated then we know it is a program issue and not a hardware issue. I have had to do this to diagnose problems with algor. Also try and change solvers. Does your fempro crash and close or does the analysis just stop?

I am not an Algor user, but I can recognise that this is a fortran run-time error message and not something that Algor would have written into their program.

An "end-of-file during read" error message is very easy to trap and circumvent in fortran, it shows poor programming when an end user is exposed to this.

 

[GBor]

You need to reregister your .dll's. There is an executable that you need to run. I can't remember what it is off the top of my head and I'm not at work to look, but that is your problem.

 

[GBor]

Algor isn't going out of business, but their recent acquisition by Autodesk may hurt them for a while. They laid off a good portion of their account representatives as of June 5th. I have no idea what they've done with the tech support group since then, but the overhaul of their staff has not been a good realignment in my opinion.

I'm pretty confident in the .dll reregistration, though.

 

[GBor]

I believe the file to run is Regall.bat. This will bring up a Dos Command window that will say it is registering all the .dll's, ocx's, etc. in you ..\Algor\23.00 subdirectory. The mouse will indicate that something is happening. And then, after a while, the dos window will disappear.

I know there is a "pretty" Windows version of this, but I believe they both call the same registration.

Alan Fowkes at Algor's tech support will know this. I believe he wrote the original registration program. No idea who you spoke to that wouldn't know this.

 

[LongLe]

Hey Guys,

Still same issue after running the regall.bat I check the event logs to make sure the batch was not erroring out and its now. I guess I will see if Algor do soemthing about this issue...Ill let you guys know if they fix it....

 

[GBor]

Ask them what the .dll registration executable file is...perhaps regall.bat isn't the right one, but I'm pretty sure it will solve your problem.

 

[LongLe]

ok will do THanks GBor. Ill update that once I give them a call Probally tomorrow

 

[eteoh]

I do have the same problem too. Please let me know if there is a resolution for that. Thanks.

[eteoh]

Just another small note i wanted to add.
I did send my model to Algor support, they don't have problem running the same model at their end at all.

Hi Longle and eteoh,

Both of your machines are 64 bit or 32 bit?
