Hello Everyone,
Im new in the forum and trying to learn prepomax/calculix. I encounter an issue, not sure really, but it happens when i had this long running dynamics explicit calculation, and prepomax kind of crash or killed before teh solver finished; however, the solver is still running in task manager. I thought, maybe i can open the incomplete results of whatever increment its at. I opened the .frd file, it does open but throws an error about .dat file not opening, which means there is no history output in the tree. Then i opened the .dat file in notepad and i noticed that some of the increment numbers are literal asterisks *****. so ichanged the ***** to some numbers that would corelate to my requrested output frequency, say evry 1000, saved the .dat file, closed the .frd and reopened. Voila, i got the history output to show up in the tree. So i am wondering if anyone has this experience. I dont know how to reproduce it, bec it only happens when prepomax crashed while the solver is not finished. Or maybe by force closing prepomax in taskman. I am on windows 10.
Anyhow, thanks for the dev, very nice UI, very abaqus like.
Thanks.
Josua
