Input was not in a correct format in object ModelTree calling method tsmiRun_Click

I’m getting this other error:

when trying to run a thermal analysis.
I’m not sure what is causing it, the only thing I gather is that it is picked up when I run the analysis because it mentions:
CalculixFileWriter
“deformations” is mentioned (maybe I’m asking for something it can’t output ?)
ExportToCalculix
RunJob
RunAnalysis
ModelTree.tsmiRun_Click

to replicate the issue:
This runs:
make a rectangular block, apply a temperature BC to one side and a convective film to the other.
This gives the error:
Deactivate the temperature BC and add a concentrated flux to the same face effectively replacing the heat source. the BC list is empty, but the loads contains a heat generating source and a heat sinking source. Adding an initial condition of 20C for example doesn’t change the error.

Am I doing something wrong?

I can confirm this. But it can be reproduced even easier - just apply a concentrated heat flux to any part of any model. It seems that this type of load is currently broken. It works properly in the previous version (v1.3.0). @Matej Could you take a look at this ?

oh interesting, I’ll pull up my old copy. Good call! Thanks!

Tried 1.3.0 and got the same error. Maybe its something else?

Right, now I can’t make it work in 1.3.0 as well. I don’t know why it worked before. Try with older version, v.1.2.1 should be fine.

I will take a look and fix what is causing the problems. This will be fixed in the new 1.3.2 version.

It was a small issue and I fixed it. In the following days, I will release version 1.3.2 with the fix.

This is very cool. Thanks Matej!
