The software fails to run

Be certain the programs have execute permissions, that there is adequate swap space to run Mechanical APDL and the CAD package simultaneously, and that the connection is configured. In addition, if you do not possess the proper licensing, the system may not run.

If you receive one of these error messages shown below, check the Mechanical APDL text window for additional error or warning messages and make sure that the connection is configured properly. Most failures are due to the connection not being configured.

When a connection is running, an overly-long command string can be passed to the CAD package, which can sometimes cause problems. If this message occurs, copy the file to the current working directory and try to import it again.
