I have just started to use Simulation Mechanical. I will use the software in i basic course i FEA.
I did most of the tutorials and find the software easy and pedagogical to use. Sometimes I failed to finish the analyze but after restarting the software the analyze succed,
After the tutorials, I made some very simple truss systems. And now all my analyzes failed. I even try to do the tutorial "Beam tower static stress analyze" over again but it failed.
I can't find any relevant informaiton from the report.
I'm very confused and need some useful hints
Hi MHR,
Which version of Simulation Mechanical are you using? You can determine this by going to the upper righthand corner in the Simulation Mechanical, clicking the down arrow, and then selecting about.
Have you tried running a check model?
If you are using 2015, make sure that you have the output bar enabled. You can check this by going to the view tab on the ribbon, clicking User Interface on the Visibility panel, and making sure there is checkmark next to Output Bar. The output bar will display the log files generated during the analysis and should include any error messages.
Once you determine any error messages generated, I recommend that you search on knowledge.autodesk.com to see if there is a technical article about that problem.

Hi mhr,
Here are some suggestions and questions that may help someone determine what is occurring.
So, does the problem occur in any of these steps? If not, specifically when does it fail and what happens? What messages are given?
If you cannot find the solution, then I suggest that you create an archive of your model with the results (so that the archive includes all of the log files). Please see the post "Create, Post, or Provide an Archive of your model" for instructions.
Many thanks for your advices but my problem still remains.
- I'm using 2015
- Show output-bar is "on"
- I'm not using foreign characters. I've used a folder c:\test
- check model is ok if my model is correct. I even tried to do an uncorrect model where a boundarycondition were missing and I've got a opportunity to view the log fil, just as you said.
- the log files ds.l and ds.log does not excist. I can not find them in the model-folder. I have also marked the to be in the report (through report/configure) but they are not found but the report.
- finaly I also tried to solve an old model (tutorial) that I manage to solve before. I just change a load magnitude. Tryed to solve it once more but "analysis failed".
I'm very confused. It's a system of two trusses and three nodes. I can solve it by hand 🙂
Something with my computer?!?
If I have this kind of problem it's at risk some of my 40 students will have simular problem.
Best regards,
I think I have solved my problem.
I found a job manager at the notification area in Windows.
All my failured analysis were acitve. I deleted them and after that I manage so solve my simple model.
Is there a simple answere to why my models get stuck in job manager?
Best regards,
Madeleleine
Click "Check Model" to see whether there is ds.ldd file? If there is ds.ldd file, open it and see whether there is any error message.
