Piston tutorial halting

Heres the completed piston-tutorial - note that I changed number of CPUs to 2 and RAM to 512MB

I tried your file. recreated the path to /home/claus/Desktop/etc... dropped in the files...opened...deleted results. Erased result files in dir...restarted Salome just for kicks. Changed number of processors to 1 and it worked! So I guess that means my problem is somewhere between the keyboard and chair. Did you really follow the tutorial perfectly or was there any point you had to do something extra? I've seen a couple posts about some of the scripts not having the correct paths in them...Maybe I'll back off and try some really simple models like cubes or something before trying a model that might be introducing it's own problems.<br /><br />Post edited by: Kristofor Jensen, at: 2008/04/16 19:47

I'm pretty stumped right now. I can mesh things but it seems like it is the mesh that causes the problem. Here's what I've done:

Erased all your results and Aster info from the data you sent me...basically I have a mesh and the geometry. I setup aster with the 3d wizard and away it goes...no problemo. If I back it up one more step (removing the mesh) and then recreate it using the same hypothesis and algorithms, it still builds a mesh and allows me to continue but once I try to run aster it brings up the error.

This has proven to be the case on everything I've tried so far...even very simple 1D and 2D meshes...as soon as I am the one that generates the mesh (regardless of hypothesis and algorithm) I get the error.

Any ideas?

Olá,

unfortunatelly i receive the same error message as Kristofer.

&gt;&gt;&gt;
Unexpected Error
Type =Exceptions.KeyError
Value =6
&lt;&lt;&lt;

Yes, i'm quite new at CAELinux and also at Linux in general.

When i try to change, what Joel said (Edit Aster-Case; deactivate &quot;interactive&quot;...) i recieve:

&gt;&gt;&gt;
Advanced parameters: error while getting information from the code-aster server -&gt; *.lan
&lt;&lt;&lt;

Does anyone knows how to help?

Thank you very much.
Ah, i'm running CAELinux 2008 on 32-bit.

Are you also using fedora? I started the thread while using fedora 8...or a couple weeks before F9 I installed the full CAELinux dvd and the tutorials worked well. I haven't tried it again with F9.

In the end it seemed to be a bug with the meshing because if I took a premade mesh (from claus) it would run fine. Quite odd as the mesher didn't give the error, the solver did.

I'll repost once I've given SalomeMecha 2008 a try on 32bit F9.
