Why is my SPCF output request not exported correctly to the solver deck? (causes ERROR # 1466)

Sebastian_981

Hello everyone,

I am running a model which includes three frequency response loadsteps, each setup identical except with the exitation beeing in a different direction. I'm using Hypermesh 2025.

I've setup the output requests as follows:

I'm using OptiStruct 2022.1 for this analysis since this is currently the only way to get a correct output into an .disp file for the first output request (see my previous post

https://community.altair.com/discussion/62043/why-is-my-disp-file-empty

My issue is that the second output request seems to not get exported correctly to the solver deck by Hpermesh 2025. When I try to run the unedited solver deck I get the following error message:

*** See next message about line 193 from file:
StrukturModellV2_Sine_XYZ_mms^2.fem
"BEGIN BULK"

*** ERROR # 1466 *** in the input data:
"BEGIN BULK" encountered while reading continuation for control card.

The cause seems to be an issue in the solver deck with the second output request:

When I change line 27 (and the lines of the other two subcases) from "SPCFORCE(,OPTI,PHASE,,,,) = " to "SPCFORCE(,OPTI,PHASE,,,,) = ALL" the analysis runs correctly and a .spcf file is generated as output.

Of course I could just keep doing that and get the results I want, but it would be more comfotable if the analysis would run without changing the .fem file manually each time.

Does anyone know what could cause this issue?

Best regards,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

I couldn't reproduce this issue in HyperMesh 2025, everytime the "ALL" argument is written correctly.
Please try to run a cleanup and try again.

C:\Program Files\Altair\2025\hwdesktop\utility\HWCleanup
HyperworksLinuxCleanup.sh --> for Linux
HyperworksWindowsCleanup.bat --> for Windows

Hi Marina,

thanks for the reply. I ran celanup but unfortunately it didntn help.

I tried around a bit and the issue seems to be model specific. I set up the same load steps in a demo beam model and everything works fine there.

The same issue also happens with the STRESS output requests I recently added of three linear static loadcases. I started out with the model in Hm 2022.3, then moved to 2024.1 and am now using 2025. Could these transfers maybe have caused the issue?
