problem with TOSCA ABAQUS

[obworraps]

need some help,

i was doing topology optimization using abaqus 6.14. the file went throught the static analysis, but during the optimization this error occurred.

Error in opt_321_1000: **** ERROR in Tosca for Abaqus - module "Tosca for Abaqus.opt" ****
Error in opt_321_1000: Tosca for Abaqus-optimization module did not finish correctly.
Error in opt_321_1000: Module call: "D:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.14-1\code\bin\SMAExternal\TOSCA/bin/tosca_opt.CMD" --loglevel INFO
Error in opt_321_1000: Return code: 3221225477
Error in opt_321_1000: Logfile: opt_321_1000\TOSCA.OUT
Error in opt_321_1000: Optimization process failed with an error.
Optimization process opt_321_1000 aborted due to errors.


actually i am going to usc TOSCA STRUCTURE to continue the topology optimization, but i think at least it should be runnable in ABAQUS then i could use the optimization input file to run it in TOSCA.
maybe this error means it cant turn the input file to a runnable TOSCA input file, but im not sure. Really need help !

thanks.

Hi,
Did you run a "normal" job with the load you applied? It looks to me like something happened in step 3 (load application?).

judging from the job monitor picture the analysis failed in step 3. If i see correctly the step time is really small so I assume that step 3 is a linear perturbation step. Have you tried changing this step in to a standard one? Maybe that helps.
