Simple simulation: FATAL ERROR T2005: INVALID FREE FIELD FORMAT IN FIELD 3

[ga25puh]

Hi,

I am a complete newbee 😉

I tried to get a very basic sim. running in Nastran-InCAD but all I get is this error message when i hit the run button. I set up a Force, Material, Physics, a Mesh and a constrain. Also took a look at some tuts but can not figure out where my problem is

I am using Inventor Professional 2014 SP2 and Nastran In-CAD 2015 (both student versions)

Hope you can help me out here

Hello,

Can you please share your model if it is not confidential to reproduce from our side and this fatal error seems that it is outputing the Nastran fields as "," (comma) instead of "." (dot). 

Go to Control panel-> Regional settings-> Additional settings and check how the Decimal symbols are treated.

Actually, it's a known issue: Other than English and Japanese all other languages OS have this issue, we are working on this issue.

Thanks!

Hey thanks!

This solved the Problem! I just switched the "Decimal Symbol" with the "Group Symbol" so the Decimal Symbol now is "." and not "," anymore (like when you have Sys. language "English" and not German (what I had))
