Run Time Error and Study-1 Failed

[mrpi]

My (new) Machine:

Win 7
SW Office Premium 2010 x64 Edition
SP 4.0

I just installed Simulation last night to double check some heat-sink calculations I had done.

I had previously been using a different machine running SW 2009 and Cosmos without issue, so I figured this new machine would be a slam dunk and blazing fast.

Well, I loaded up my heatsink solid model, put in some simple thermal loads, and received a blazingly fast "Run Time Error".

Figuring maybe the model was a little complex or something, I made a test model of a simple beam. This also failed, but now the error is "Study-1: Failed" and that is all.

The parts appear to mesh fine, they just won't run.

I believe we are on a Network License here at the office, however I'm not sure.

Is it possible that we only have 1 seat of Simulation, and the other engineer is using it, thus I will be unable to run simulations?

Any insight would be helpful before I throw a temper tantrum!

This is a VAR issue. It has to do with your license and possibly with running on 64 bit. Did you load from a 64 bit DVD?

Our IT guy set up the systems initially.

I used the Windows Control Panel, and clicked "change program" on SW. Then, I clicked the "change" checkbox. This allowed me to "change" it by adding Simulation. I tried to "download" the Simulation package, but I was informed that all necessary packages were already on our server, and the only option was to use the existing file location.

It appeared to install correctly thereafter.

Ask the IT bloke whether he tested the install image before putting it into production. Then duck.

It is still a VAR issue and the IT guy needs to deal with it.

So I figured I'd get a couple screen shots of the error messages.

I go to run Simulation again, and it will not allow me to do a thermal analysis. "Static" is the only option under "Type".

I tried a re-boot thinking maybe SW was freaking out, but no luck.
