    Hi All,

     

    I am having problems with 2013 and trying to access the Stress analysis, when going into environments the tab is consistently greyed out. I made a very simple model and pasted the snips below.

    Add In manager.

    Any thoughts on what is most probably my fault?

    Q1.  Did it ever work?
    Q2. if No above, did you install with anti-virus and UAC turned off?

     

    Q3. if Yes to Q1, does it work with the tutorial files?
    Q4. have you installed SP1.1?

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    Q1. I have just upgraded both OS to Windows 8 and Inventor from 2012 to 2013 on this machine, worked fine under 12 but has not worked so far on 13.

     

    Q2. I dont recall switching UAC off but hadnt yet installed AV (Windows defender/firewall present) :manindifferent:

     

    Q3

     

    Q4. - I just checked the Communication panel and noticed a software update was available, I'll install that in the meantime.

    That might be important information that you left out of your original post.
    Is 2013 supported on Win 8?

    Hmm, does say only 7 and below are supported.

     

    I did stumble upon another post in the forum with a guy who happened to have a similar problem with Molding, could have found the issue!
