ERROR # 1418 optistruct analysis on Linux server

User: "Altair Forum User"

Hello,

I am trying to run an optistruct analysis on a remote Linux server but i always get the following Error message. Even an Optimization that runs easily on my local machine (Surface Pro 4) gets this ERROR on the Linux server.

I know this was alerady mentioned in a similar post on this forum, but deleting the control cards was not helpfull.

I am starting the Analysis over the Linux command prompt:

sudo sh <file_path>/2019/altair/scripts/optistruct <file path input data>

*** ERROR # 1418 *** in the Input data:
Control Card without the name in the first field.
(Possibly missing trailing comma in the preceding card,
missing BEGIN BULK card or line before BEGIN BULK has trailing comma.)

    Hello Maxx,

     

    Maybe it's due to CTRL-M char, when you import a text file from MS-DOS (Windows), and forget to transfer it in ASCII or text mode ... 

     

    Can you please share the *fem file. I want to test it :)

     

    Cheers,

    1. You can do analysis under normal user, sudo is not needed
    2. Try: dos2unix your_file.fem     and run again?
