FEKO 2024 CADFEKO (UI) cannot write to a network share. Is it normal?

While IntelMPI in the current version does not work well in Windows, I am trying to study using laptop, but tried working from the common share on a remote workstation.

So I can load a project from the share. But when trying to save, or run a simulation, it throws an error telling that the share in not writable.

Of course, the sahre is writable. The access is organized with local credentials(user/password stored at the host)

I suspect, some incorrect identification accurs in the writing routine. It probably writes under different user, than the one logged in to the share from laptop, and stored in laptop's credentials vault for that share. Of course it may be anything else.

I.e. is there a fix or workaround?

    Hi Andrew

    From the Message Details image you shared I can see that the CFX and OPT files are being saved at this location but the PRE file not. This is unexpected.

    Have you tried saving the model in the same location but with a new file name?

    Kind regards,

    Hi Andrew

    This confirms that the system is for some reason blocking the creation of some files and not others.

    One possibility is that the antivirus software/security settings might be blocking specific files from being created.

    I would suggest saving the model in a local folder and then trying to copy the PRE and CFM files manually to the remote/shared folder. If this works, we know the issue is with how CADFEKO is writing these files and, if it also fails then maybe Windows would give a more descriptive error message.

    Kind regards,

    I am moving any files with file explorer freely. The remote host does not have additional antivirus other than default Windows 11 software. The laptop has TrendMicro, but it works locally, and does not prevent manual copying. There were issues of running FEKO 2023 with TrendMicro previously, so I put the executables and the folder in the exclusion list.
