Hello everyone,

I have compiled an API contact model. This is not loading in EDEM under 'particle-to-particle' interaction. This was working just fine couple of days back.

Any clue(s) or pointer(s), what could have gone wrong here, may be during compilation?

Thank you.

Best regards,

    Hi,

    Debugging within Visual Studio (or similar) would be your best bet to find out more.

    Off the top of my head, check things like:

     -  preference files not loading (path)

     - compiling 32bit and not 64 bit

     - trying to load a debug build on another machine

     - incorrect API version specified

    Hi, I just solved this problem in my case. I created an API file and output a "debug" file using VS. But we should output a "release" version to use it. Hope it can help you.

    Hi both,

    Thank you for your input. I actually recompiled my contact model with the VS project and it started to work fine.

    Best regards,
