Hi Aldyatma,
If the Dynamic Simulation add-in isn't appearing in the Add-Ins manager there was likely a permissions issue during registration / installation.
Could you try the following to manually re-register it?
0) Close down Inventor and ensure the process is not running in Windows Task Manager
1) Lauch the command line window (windows start menu => type 'cmd' and OK)
2) Navigate to Inventor's Bin folder in the command line window (e.g. cd "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2011\Bin")
3) Type "RegisterDynamicSimulation.exe /install" (you may be able to see the process appear for a second in Task Manager)
4) If that doesn't work you can try re-registering all of Inventor and it's add-ins by typing "Inventor.exe /install"
Hope this helps.
Best regards, -Hugh
Hi aldyatma,
I tried to capture images of the steps in the file attachment. Please make sure you have Administrative priviliges, turn UAC off, and disable any firewalls or Anti-Virus.
I didn't have R2011 Inventor installed, so the screen captures are from R2013 Inventor and Windows7 O/S.
Thanks, -Hugh
Dear Hugh,
Hi Aldyatma,
Thank you for providing the images. I believe you performed the commands correctly, but DS is still not registering. I'm not at my machine at this time, and will return to the office Monday.
Another thing to check for are missing files on disk. Can you verify if there exists a file in your /bin directory called DynamicSimulation.dll or something similar?
If this dll file exists, we can move on and try using an "/echo on" switch in the command line to see why the registration process is not occuring properly. I suspect certain registry keys are not being created or read.
I hope this helps..
Best regards, -Hugh
{Edit: echo on, not off}
dear hugh,
Hi Aldyatma,
That /echo switch isn't going to work, since there probably aren't any comments in the *.exe.
I thought I could use process explorer to find out what keys are written when using RegisterDynamicSimulation.exe, but there are so many keys written, it is difficult to figure out which one is needed in order for the Add-In to register.
The only thing I can recommend is a clean un-install then re-install at this point.
My apologies I couldn't be much more help on this.
Sincerely, -Hugh
