MES analysis fails, when a file name contains period. For example same STEP models are
named 'LPlate1.stp' and 'LPlate.1.stp'. The two files are different only names (same geometry).
Former step model can be succesfully performed MES analysis, but later step model cannot.
Is this a technical issue in ASMECH 2015?
Two step files and two archive files are zipped and attached.

Hello,
Thank you for pointing out the issue, it does appear that this is a issue with the program. I have logged this with development. If you currently have a model that has a period in it, the simplest solution is to use Save as and save the model under a new name without any decimal points.
Thanks,
James
I have been having the same issue. We use Creo / ProEngineer, which save the file format as model.prt.3, where the number is the instance of the model.
I can get the analysis to run by erasing the instance number (model.prt) in Windows Explorer.
Hi all, I'm having a similar problem. Except my file name doesn't contain a period. Could there be another reason why this error is happening?
Help!
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike, Here are a couple of questions and ideas.
"Filename" problems can be related to the name of the model or the name of the path where the model is stored (starting with the drive letter, like C:, all the way through all of the folders down to where the model is stored.) Make sure the model is stored on your hard drive, not on a network drive. If there are any non-English characters in the filename or foldername, that could be a problem. (Letter and numbers, and the characters such as @%^& that Windows supports should be acceptable.)
Hi John,
Thanks for the quick reply. I tried what you said about the entire directory, and just saved a copy of the model in a new folder, directly under my C: drive. Same error occurred. Here's what my run log looks like.

I should also mention that I'm running 2016 rather than 2015 like the original post.
Thanks for the help so far.

Hi Mike,
The only other thought that comes to mind is that the model does not exist! Let me explain.
When you run an analysis, the software does multiple steps:
If step 1 or 2 fails, the process should terminate and give some type of message. My suspicion is that one of those steps if failing but does not terminate the process. So if step 2 doesn't make the model, then the solver cannot find the model in step 3. To test this hypothesis, do a check model ("Analysis > Analysis > Check Model"). If the model appears in the Results environment, then the model exists. If it does not appear, I'm hoping that it will give a message that will help diagnose the problem.
If the check model gives a message that you need help with, you can either paste the text into a reply, or create an archive of your model and attach it (the .ACH file) to a reply. See "Create, Post, or Provide an Archive of your model" for details.
Hi Mike,
Although you have no period in your filename and folder name, you have Error(-2), right.
Would you try to remesh generation and run-simulation again?
