Hello Altair Community,

I try to start OptiStruct through the following command:

Path\to\optistruct_2019_win64.exe Path\to\Solverdeck.fem -analysis

then I get the following error-message:

**************************************************
RADFLEX not found

 
 *** FATAL ERROR # 9174 ***

 *** Error starting Radflex licensing utility.
 *** Please check RADFLEX_PATH env variable.
 *** License checkout could not be initialized.
...
**************************************************


As I can read in the error-message there should be a RADFLEX_PATH env variable set.

This env variable doesn't exist on my stystem.

So my question is, how do I set this env variable correctly, so I can run OptiStruct from the commandline?


Additional Info:

  • OS:         Windows 10 Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
  • HyperWorks: Version 2019
  • I wasn't able to follow the sollution provided here, as it's for a linux-system.

 

Best regards
Willi Stork

    hi,

     

    you should call optistruct.bat instead.
