Hi guys,

I'm currently working on a project using Inspire Extrude, but met some problems. Like after running the simulation there is no modelname.save.phx file which is quite important for my next step. I wonder how I can get this file.

And after searching on Internet I found something about setting the pset value in .hx file and use altair compute console to rerun it. But I can't find anything looks like Acc in my computer. I've tried and followed every tutorials from altair. Is it becourse of the Version 2022?

    Dear @Yili Xu 

     

    Thank you for your interest in Inspire Extrude.
    I'm sorry for the late response.

    Then, I will answer your inquiry.

    To leave a *.phx file, you must disable the functionality of 'Preserve scratch files' option.
    The reason for the 'Preserve scratch files' option was to reduce the capacity of the result file after metal extrusion analysis.

    Related information is in the training material.
    On page 157, 158 of the 01-Metal-Extrusion-Analysis-v2022.1.pdf, there is information about the analysis result file and 'Preserve scratch files' option.

    How to launch Altair compute console?

    1. Install the HyperWork solver(Mechanical Solvers 2022.2)
        Download from Altair One

    2. Extrude model creation through Inspire Extrude(or HyperXtrude)

    3. Execute the Compute Console
        And select *.hx(If *.hx is selected, *.grf is used for analysis)
        And Click Runimage
        
    4. Result check through HyperView
