A participant may fail to connect to System Coupling if it attempts to use the wrong host name for the machine on which System Coupling is running. This can occur if the hosts file on that system has been modified manually (for example, to circumvent access to network locations).

To resolve this, ensure that the hosts file does not contain arbitrary entries. The hosts file is typically located in the /etc directory on Linux platforms and C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc on Windows platforms.

Results may be different when restarting or extending a case containing a Maxwell participant. The only way to avoid this issue is to not restart the case.

Modal analysis is not supported if the Mechanical *.rst file contains non-complex mode-shape data and Damped is enabled in the Analysis Settings of the Mechanical setup.
