Our company makes wire grids and decking and we would like to
run CW to test load capacities and such. In CW06 we were told it
was not possible to run our assemblies with the program as it was
written.
I haven't been running CW07 since I installed SW07 but I would like to see if the CW07 updates like the beam testing would help me.
When I go to add a study, and when I select the CW tab on the leftside of the screen lower section it crashes SW and pops us a runtime error (attached).
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? I did remove the add-ins for the unused poortions of SW that I didn't need like PDMW, and Photoworks.

I doubt that beams would be appropriate for your application due to the interactions of the wires in the grid. If you send me or post an image of a typical problem, I can confirm. Historically, grate, grid, mesh, and other problems are difficult but this isn't a limitation of COSMOSWorks, it is a limitation of the technology. Results from a beam mesh of a grid, especially if all the intersections are joined, will look deceptively appealing but the beam element can't capture the local behaviors.
Shoot me an image or a typical part and I'll suggest some practical solutions for you.
