Inventro 2013 Pro Stress Analysis problem

[luis.guembes.c]

Hi, For some reasson I cant get inventor stress analysis to make any calculations. After I set up the simulation and press calculate the loading bar starts and all of a sudden it stops and it shows no results. I tried in my school computers and it works there so its not my setup. Also I can open a file with the results made in another computer and see the results, animate, everything. I just cant create them on my computer. I think it may have soemthing to do with some windows service that I may have disabled though I've checked them twice now and theres none regarding autodesk that is disabled. I have repaired the installation, unninstalled and installed again. I guess I could erase the inventor aplication data and give it another installation. Not sure if all of the inventor app data is in one place though. Any help is appreciated, thanks

ll go with the service packs 1st and get back to you  because I realy want to avoid reinstalling of all my autodesk products

I applied the service pack.

Before I would click simulate the loading bar would appear and dissapear almost instantly with no results shown.

This time it appears, and seems to be calculating, (computing results...)and about 10-20 seconds later it dissapears and shows no result.

After the SP failure I did the clean unninstall and the clean install and still nothing. The same as before, the bar starts loadingand stops at about 2/3rds of completition then it just dissapears without showing results. I tried with different files too. Created new ones just to test it and nothing.

Not sure what else I can do.

Search here for similar problems.

I think others might have experienced the same problem - but I don't recall the solution.

I went seraching found 143 pages worth of threads but checked quite a few. Anyway I read someting about corrupt usres which tbh I had not even considered. So I created a new standard user, ran Inventor normally(no admin rights) and the simulation works.

I tried running inventor with admin right in my administrator user and even worse, the simulation add-in was greyed out. I'm still very curious about inventor not working on my everyday user but so far I have this solution if anyone is interested.

TL DR

Create a new user and try if SA isnt working
