implicit modeling disappear problem

Hi, I have a question about Altair Inspire implicit modeling.
I am using version 2023.1 and have a student license.

I am trying to convert a designed body to a lattice structure but it keeps failing.

I have an issue where the moment I select implicite modeling, the model disappears. My model disappears the moment I select any of the options: surface, planar, strut, etc.
Even when I select primitives, none of them are displayed on the screen.

How can I fix this?

This is a relevant screenshot

    Hi!

    First of all, how did you create the cube and the plates of your file? Are those from an external file or did you create them using the geometry tools?

    - Have you try to run a simple structural analysis in your model?

    - Could you try first creating a primitive cube or cylinder and then a lattice on it?

    - Does it happen with all your files or only this this one?

     

    Kind Regards,

    Sorry for the late reply.

    I used inspire's geometry tool for the cube and plate in the screenshot, but I have the same problem when I import an external file.

    Whether I create a basic cube, sphere, or cylinder, the moment I apply explicit modeling, it doesn't show up in the display.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled inspire and the same problem occurs.

    I am attaching a screen recording of inspire. Can you confirm what the problem is?

    Thanks.

    Could you skip the step of creating a Primitive and apply the lattice to the originally created cube?

    Good evening. I have exactly the same problem, and I'm not able to resolve it. I've followed the video exactly, to the same result, the implicit part never appears.

     

    How can I fix this?

     

    Thank you very much.

    hello
    I still haven't solved this issue.
    However, if I save the model as stl, restart inspire and load the stl file, I can see that implicit modeling is applied.
    It seems to be a display issue.

    Thanks.

    Kind Regards,

    I have completely reinstalled Windows and now everything is working again. I have no idea why the problem occurred.
