Runs aren't being saved in Run History. How can I change that?

Simon_

I am currently working through the "Getting started with MotionView/MotionSolve" Course Module 4.

As the Title says my Runs won't get saved in the Run History. I can only see them again in the Run Status window if I start another Simulation. I tried changing the Output Directory in the Run Motion Analysis window, but that didn't work. I couldn't find a Preference Setting to help me with my Problem (deselecting the "Create a sub-folder with the run name" changed nothing), running the Simulation Offline also didn't save the Run in the Run History. A new _snapshot.mdl file is created when running, maybe that has something to do with it? I would really appreciate your help or insight.

Hi @Simon_

I had faced a similar issue recently, and it was corrected as soon as I ran HWCleanup. It can repair some issues related to graphics or directories very easily. Please run the HWCleanup Tool, found here:

(C:\Program Files\Altair\2025\hwdesktop\utility\HWCleanup\HyperworksWindowsCleanup.bat)

Also, the MDL snapshot is a copy of the parent MDL as it was submitted to the solver. It's handy to use in the event that you make a change after the simulation is solved but don't remember the exact configuration of the model the last time it was completed.

Hope this helps!
