Analysis & Optimization don't start

Altair Forum User

Hi all;

 

I`m doing the combination tutorial (last one) from the list in the link http://www.altairhyperworks.in/edu/contest/aoc/2013/tutorials-and-downloads.html#.WeHKJGiCxPY and at step 9 when i`m trying to start the optimization nothing happening (at the down-left corner something running but it stops on 'Ready').

 

This is the first run i`m trying to do using a new computer i bought... Maybe it`s related to that... 

 

Thanks;

Hi @Danny

 

Make sure you are saving the file name with .fem extension. For example when you are saving the file from OptiStruct panel>> Save as type in as <filename>.fem instead of <filename>

 

Please let us know if this helped.

Hi Rahul,

 

This is a know issue with HyperWorks 2017 and our devs are working on it.

 

There is a workaround for this. When you create a Frequency response DO NOT select the loadstep. Instead refer to loadstep when creating objective or dconstriant.

Hi Prakash

 

Thanks for your answer =]

 

I saved the file name as you suggested and still i`ve the same problem.

 

I tried to do another tutorial (Composited Monocoque optimization) and it did the same thing when i tried to run the analysis.

 

i`m also using HW2017.

 

Thanks.

Hi @Danny

 

Could you please share your model file?

Altair Forum User

Yeah sure.

 

The comp.hm model is the first model which made the problem (the reason i opened this thread).

 

02_analysis _complete.hm is the other one. I downloaded this model without changing it at all.

 

Thanks.

Hi @Danny

 

I am able to run the model without any issues.

 

Were you able to run the 02_analysis_complete.hm file?

Altair Forum User

Unfortunately  no.

I tried to reinstall the software and it didn't work.

Hi Danny,

 

This could be the case if you are using a full suite of HyperWorks. Solvers may not be available on your machine and only HyperWorks Desktop (HM, HV, HG) are available.

 

Can you please check whether solvers are installed on your machine at all?

 

on HyperMesh Go to Help>>Update and System information. Copy the information and paste the same here.

Thanks for your help Prakash. 

 

Apparently the problem caused because the files was located inside directories which was inside 'Program Files' directory. And it was on 'Read only'....

In order to run the analysis/optimization it should not be inside 'Read only' directories. =]

This is something I learned today /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20'> 

 

Thank you, I hope now you are able to run the files.

Hey,

I am facing the same problem, it shows ready only and solver is not invoked. 

As you asked for I have shared the results of 'update and system information' 

Can you please help me with this?
