Hi, Pat-san
I also had some trouble. (Autodesk Simulation tool bar doesn't come up in Pro/E GUI)
Could you advise me ?
[My Local Preferences]
OS: Windows 7 Professional x64bit
Softwares: PTC Pro/Engineer Wildfire 4.0 (M020) (32bit ver)
Autodesk Simulation 2012 (64bit ver)
Refering to Autodesk Simlation 2012 help, I've checked inside of "protk.dat" stowed in text directory, and
I could not identify what's the exactry problem...
My protk.dat file shows...
=====================================================================
NAME ALGOR Menu for ProEngineer
EXEC_FILE C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Algor Simulation 2012\PEMnu23-win-ix86.dll
TEXT_DIR C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Algor Simulation 2012
STARTUP dll
REVISION 23
unicode_encoding false
END
=====================================================================
And, in the installation directory of Autodesk Simulation 2012, there are many DLL files as follows.
- PEMnu21-win-ix86.dll
- PEMnu22-win-ix86.dll
- PEMnu23-win-ix86.dll
- PEMnu64-win-x64.dll
- agsdb_ar.dll
- agsdb_ar-win-ix86.dll
- agsdb_ar-win-x64.dll
[Question 1]
In the installation wizard, I have chosed "Pro/Engineer 2001(And on)" for Wildfire 4.0.
Was it correct ? Otherwise, in my case, which DLL of above should be selected ?
(Default set after installation was "PEMnu23-win-ix86.dll", but in the help it was written to select "agsdb_ar-win-ix86.dll".)
I confused ...
[Question 2]
Should I change 23 to 24 for "REVISION" in protk.dat file manually ?
Best Regards,
Shige
Hey Pat,
Great information, thanks for the clarification! I just came upon this thread. Although I do have one question that is puzzling me, upon exiting Pro/E (Wildfire 5.0 M030) I receive an error message: Pro/E has encountered a problem..., and then a trace back log will generate. This only occurs when Algor is connected thru Pro/E via the config option, any thoughts?
