Bug importing INP file generated by pygccx library

Bug Reports

Hello,
I used pygccx library that generates INP file from .geo inpu and .stp model files.
When importing INP in prepomax v2.2.0, I have two issues:

  • the ‘Load_surf’ surface is not correctly read.
  • when editing a concentrated load force, it says that one component at least must not be equal to zero, but it’s the case here (see image).

INP file extracts :
…
*CLOAD
141981,1,3.0616170e-14
141981,2,5.0000000e+02
…
*SURFACE,NAME=LOAD_SURF,TYPE=ELEMENT
76045,S1
44530,S1
59809,S1
65714,S1
84939,S1

The .inp file importer is quite outdated compared to the exporter and mostly supports files generated in PrePoMax’s way. Especially surfaces are causing issues when importing: Import issues with *SURFACE - #2 by FEAnalyst

In the image, the magnitude of the force is 0. That is probably causing problems.

I had this before with Aba decks, simply retype the F1 load value, and mag gets recalculated, and not zero.

I have fixed this behaviour. The fix will be released in the next version.
