Adaptive solver not running

Peter MacDonald Mar 4, 2014 4:32 AM

Hi, I don't expect to get very far with this issue, because I seem to have an extremely buggy version of SW.

When I try to use an adaptive solver, I get the message "One or more components have no material defined". This message comes up three times.

I know that the materials are defined because it solves perfectly using a standard non-adaptive solver.

I either get the above message or it crashes. Only certain models are causing the issue.

It's obviously not a major issue, just annoying as I can't go a day without SW crashing.

Any clues as to why the adaptive solver might not accept certain models?

Thanks

if it solves without adaptive, that doesn't make much sense
what is your exact workflow?
what version/service pack are you working with?
probably worth posting your model

  I have 2012/13 Education Version SP5.0.
  
  My workflow is somewhat erratic. Don't think I can explain it. I have an assembly with 8 or so parts, I frequently adjust the geometry of the parts (occasionally making new parts) and re-simulate the assembly.
  
  It's not too important, I think I should just move on as otherwise I'm wasting time.
  
  Thanks anyway.

    sounds good
    knowing your workflow
    looking at the files
    both helpful in understanding what you're running into
    sounds file specific to me, i'd probably clean it up and see if that helps, especially if adaptive works on other assemblies
