SW Premium 2009
SW seems to be working and FEA study seems to be working until I save and close the document. On attempting to re-open the document SW reports "error - needs to restart". Endlessly.
My workaround is to model the part then save as a copy and do the study on the copy and print the results before closing. Then I can open the original part and do another study on it.
As I am new to using FEA, this condition could have been present when I bought the product. I don't change hardware or software.
Simultaneously SW RX reports "error - needs to restart" when I attempt to run it, but when I ignore the message and request Windows cleanups that works. Looks like it can't connect to SW. It used to work.
I have seen Windows messages about low virtual memory but I dismissed them as I have 8GB of real memory.
Any suggestions?
On SW07 and SW09, we always found that if you have the Simulation add-in enabled but no parts open, then open a part, SW will, without fail, crash.
Are you leaving the add-in enabled after you've closed all parts? As this may be the solution to your problem.
