Permission denied / Could not create ~~~.cfg file

Altair Forum User

Hi,

I have two problems using Hypermesh.

First, when I started the program and open .hm file or import .bdf file in both cases 'Permission denied' message showed up. However, still I can use very basic functions such as view from different point, change colors, selecting nodes, etc.´

But when I tried to save this model as Ansys file the second problem occured. After applying Real constants and Material properties, I chosed Component manager and tried to make the table 'Editable' then, error massage is saying, 'Could not create ~~~.cfg file.' and this file name is 'ansystable something.'

I'm not sure this permission denied problem induced the second problem or not. However, I want to fix both problems.

Change the start-in path of HM to a directory where you have read, write and execute permissions. This will resolve both the issues.
