Simulation Frame analysis crashed when choose button Simulate. Write failed to connect solver.
Hi rgruychev,
I consulted Development and it is possible that the Robot kernel didn't register correctly.
Could you try the following?
0) Close Inventor
1) Open the command line window (Win7 / Vista: Windows Start Menu => type "cmd" in the search box and press Enter)
2) Navigate to the directory where the exe is located (type or paste the following: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\ROBOT Kernel 23.0\System\Exe" and press Enter)
3) Type "rkernel /regserver" and press Enter
Thanks, -Hugh
I've contacted Development again to see if they might have a different solution.
Thanks, -Hugh
Hi gruychev,
I forgot to mention that you should have administrative privileges and any anti-virus software turned off when doing the registration as required when doing the Inventor installation.
We have some more suggestions to try:
1) Try the registration of the Robot Kernal as described before with Admin priviliges and any AV turned off
2) After registration of Robot Kernal, re-register Frame Analysis from command line:
3) If steps 1 and 2 above still doesn't cure the issue, try a repair installation to help ensure there are no missing files
If none of the recommendations work, could you send us the Frame Analysis log file?
We apologize for the inconvenience this is causing.
Sincerely, -Hugh
Hello Hugh,
I experience the same problem. It used to work. Last week I deinstalled 2012 Beta 3 (was a side-by-side install with 2011), maybe this caused some parts of Inventor 2011 not to work anymore? Neither Repair nor Reinstall lead to a solution. Now I am deinstalling 2011, and perform a fresh install.
kind regards, Hans.
I uninstall Inventor Beta 2012 and Inventor 2011. Instal fresh inventor 2011 but i have problem maybe i need preinstall operation system (windows 7).
an addition: when I look in my registry, there is a very large amount of Classes beginning with "RobotKernel.****". These refer to ClassID s that are twice in my registry, and those classid s refer to different locations, to be precise to an "Robot Kernel 23.0" and an "Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Engine 2012" location, see the attached screen dumps
The latter seems to be left behind after deinstallation of Inventor 2012 Beta3. So this might be a problem caused by beta3 ...?
Greetings, Hans.
Thank you !!
I change all registry to C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\ROBOT Kernel 23.0\System\Exe
after 1 hours work .
Frame Analysis work success :).
Hi rgruychev and Hans,
Thank you for reporting this and sharing your solution and experience!
I'm still trying to reproduce the problem in-house. In the meantime, I've provided Development with the new findings to help get to the bottom of this and fix it from happening.
Sincerely, -Hugh

Edit: I can reproduce it now on Win7-64. I've filed the issue in our tracking system and sent it on to Development.

Here is a workaround to the issue:
0) Have admin rights on the machine
1) Open the command line prompt (Start => Run => type CMD)
2) Navigate to the directory:
3) Type "rkernel.EXE /RegServer"
Hi,
I had the problem today on one of my student's computer running Inventor 2012 SP2 with XP Pro (x86). The solution works but the file is not in Program Files\Autodesk\ROBOT Kernel 23.0\System\Exe
This folder doesn't exist at all.
The files are in Program files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Engine 2012\System\Exe
In the french version of windows it's Program files\Fichiers Communs\Autodesk Shared\Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Engine 2012\System\Exe
Maybe it's because they have an educationnal version, I don't know, but anyway the files are in this folder 😉
