Optistruct result output error

Altair Forum User

Hello,

 

i am running a static analysis case but as soon as the solver finishes computations, i get an error 'Hyperworks not responding....1.)close the programme....2.)search a solution online....and so.....' buit still solver shows compliance values and say 'JOB Completed' but it doesn't generate results in .h3d file.

 

Can you suggest what could be the reason. I must say its a big assembly with contact pairs and several SPC's (3.2 mil elements) and .hm file is about 95MB. i hope this shouldn't be a problem with Optistruct.

 

How can i view my results in .h3d file ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Palash,

Please try the below:

Hi Prakash,

 

i am again facing the same issue. i deleted all temp files as suggested by you....but still that error occurs some times.

 

even with small calculations, i am not geting a direct option (at the end of the solver) to enter hyperview results. is there any work around to view the results ?

Hi Palash,

 

Do you see H3D file written in the working directory after the analysis?

 

If yes, you can open HyperView and open the same H3D file or

 

As a workaround, use the HyperVIew button in HyperMesh (as shown in the image below)

Palash,

 

Also, try to change the working directory,

 

By default it is 'My Documents'. Instead change to any other local directory.

Altair Forum User

no Prakash, neither i have a .h3d file in working directory nor i have Hyperview as an highlighted option.

 

my work dir. is already in a separate folder then My Documents.

 

 

and right before the simulation ends, it says 'Close the Progamme'.

 

all the files generated are :

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

 

pls suggest.

 

regards..

Hi Palash,

 

Does this happen for all models or is it specific to a model?

Altair Forum User

it is happening for this specific model for now. it is a bit complex geometry with many contact surfaces.

Palash,

 

Can you share the model, please?
