problems in exporting to ADAMS 2007R2 from Cosmos Motion 2007 SP5

Nicola Nervegna Feb 6, 2008 8:33 AM

While exporting from Solidworks 2007 SP5 to ADAMS 2007R2 some files are written as indicated in the next few lines.

GRAPHICS/9
, EXTERNAL
, RM = 10011
, FILE = C:\DOCUME~1\niner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Assieme_depressore_Fiat_part60_solid1.shl

These files are non existent and, consequently, the model in ADAMS shows errors (an example is provided ahead) that prevent the possibiity of carrying a simulation:

ERROR: The shell file 'C:\DOCUME~1\niner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Assieme_depressore_Fiat_part60_solid1.shl' could not be opened for input. Check the spelling of
the file name and the file protections.
Can anyone help???

Nicola,
such a bug was present several years ago, and I solved it by saving the parts to parasolid binaries with the corresponding names and editing the ADM file to connect the old and new file refs. So it is a brute way of resolving the problem. The other solution is to reinstall motion because I have not seen that bug on my PC, so it can be the trouble of yours one. You can also try to use the SP4 for example. So I wish you good luck and hope my experience would be useful.

Regards, Basil

  Dear Basil,
  
  thanks for your advice. However what I discovered is that, if prior to exporting to Adams, you delete results obtained in Cosmos Motion than the whole model is imported correctly and studies can be performed in Adams. Strange things happen... Thanks so much

    Dear Nicola,
    the more strange things happen in 2008... I tried to export the study from 2008, and when I used Russian language it saved nothing. Having switched to English, it saved but I spent plenty of time to find where are the results...So, the 2007 is much better than 2008 even with that bug.
    
    Regards, Basil
