Why do I not have a .h3d file after the optistruct simulation?

Hi,
I'm using the student license of HyperWorks.
I'm trying to do a linear static analysis with OptiStruct but I only get the .stat and .out files.
I need the .h3d file to see the visual results with Hyperview.
Why there's no .h3d file?

I've attached the hyperworks model.

Thank you for your time

    Please double check your run folder. I ran your analysis as is.

    Check the .out file for any errors. Your analysis may not have run or completed.

    Found it!

    The first times that I did it, it created a file named "something.h3d", therefore I was looking for that extension. But lately there wasn't any .h3d after the name of the file, so I thought there wasn't any.

    There just isn't the .h3d after "piastra_9" in my folder but that is the correct file I was looking for.

    Thank you very much, you've been very helpful with the screenshot!

    Have a great day
