What is the error message ? For me, it works correctly in 2.0.0: ![works](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/4/403282397750e443749c54d9aa4dd410703429c5.jpeg) ---

Me too; on version 2.0.1 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/a/aa2f5127c6ffe3f13bbad6476f95ba3298094dc9.jpeg) ---

It’s a generic CalculiX error. Try exporting the input file and submitting this simulation in the same version of standalone CalculiX. Instructions here: [Using standalone CalculiX](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/using-standalone-calculix/846) ---

that works ok ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/d/df373548afd58ccb52e96e59b82d3d592cd49307.png) ---

Was it the same version of CalculiX as the one used by PrePoMax which didn’t work (possibly, use 2.21) ? Maybe there were some other differences like the number of CPUs or solver (Spooles/PaStiX/Pardiso and so on). I’ve even seen issues in CalculiX where the analysis worked in some runs and failed in others. ---

v1.4.1 points to a ccx\_static v2.0.0 points to a ccx\_dynamic I downloaded from the link you provided to get the ccx\_static 2.21 I can use this standalone or point the settings to this file, both solutions work ---

In summary this works for Prepomax v2.0.0 as shown or v2.0.1 dev ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/3/3c07c78e332b42e440a789e0975087a7ea8fe802.png) But as downloaded, pointing the executable to the ccx\_dynamic file, did not work in either Prepomax v2.0.0 or as shown here v2.0.1 dev ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/d/d96eecd0d58b570889dc40f220a58ad56bba57d7.png) ---

I can confirm that it also works for me for static and dynamic versions of CalculiX 2.21. ---

Might be good to ask about it on the CalculiX forum since it’s not a PrePoMax bug and there you are more likely to find someone with the same issue or even a solution. ---

If I specify spooles solver with the prepomax ccx\_dynamic executable I get results ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/1/1f2d74d199c749526ae1a5e99ec262e78bc94e51.png) With the calculix\_static executable I can keep as default or use pastix or spooles and get results ---

So maybe only Pardiso fails. Did you try PaStiX with ccx\_dynamic ? ---

ccx\_dynamic fails and tells me it’s trying to use Pardiso despite having Pastix as the option in the input file. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/d/d567356d7676588f6fa5f86c53de8705560ac882.png) [Next page](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/simple-frequency-model-error/1384.md?page=2)
