internal error : invalid solid object tag

[jcurry]

I am new to this forum so I thought I would see if anyone could give me some a solution to this problem. When I try to save the part file I am currently working on I keep getting a error saying "save failed-internal error : invalid solid object tag" anyone have any ideas.

I have this from time to time and have contributed it towards bad modeling. Now that doesn't mean anything towards you, or everyone else.

When this happens, I will sift through my features, deleting the latest one and trying to save until I find it.

Try that and let us know.

thanks,that is what I suspected also . The strange part to me is that i can us the examine geometry feature and everything checks ok.

 

[cowski]

Do you have multiple solid bodies in the part and if so did you run 'examine geometry' on all of them?

 

[jcurry]

No, I only have one solid body but it has alot of blends on it, so I am thinking maybe I have something corrupt coved up with another blend possibly.

Did you try to run part cleanup before filing?

The error is caused from the NX code trying to read an object that is invalid. When i mean invalid it refers to not able to read it or that part of the file may be corrupt. This issue can result from a range of running a specific set of applications that are internal as well as externally developed code that has a bug in it that may mess up the memory stack. Your machine may have an issue with that ram, or reading that data from the hard drive. Very difficult to narrow down unless you are able to repeat it. The syslog will help once you can repeat it.

To rule out the specific part as a culprit, Suppress all the features and unsuppress all the features. This forces NX to rebuild the model. If it unsupresses without error you can hopefully rule out that specific model. Sometimes opening the part in a newer version of NX will clean it up with the suppress and unsuppress technique.

Examine geometry may help but it is mainly good for validating the model integrity not the file structure. Part cleanup may also be negligibly helpful since it deletes unused objects and duplicates mostly. All good techniques on their own but probably won't fix your invalid tag issue. I would try a patch to NX first.
