Simulation failure. "Error: Solver Error"

JRDavis5712 — Sat, 25 May 2019 22:43:49 GMT

Just getting started with simulations. Have watched several videos for guidance, continue to get a "solver error". Have attached the .log file. All help is appreciated.

John.

According to the log file you have insufficient disc space. Have you checked your disc space? How many free space is left?

Hello,

Yes, I saw the same thing when I looked at the log file. The drive with
Fusion 360 on it has 89.5 GB free space. Does Fusion only use the drive
that it is installed on or can it use other available HD/SSD?
I ran the simulation on the cloud and it worked fine.

Thanks, John

You could make a change to the nastran solvers ini file. A temp folder is specified in this file.

Note that it might get overwritten with an update.

At this time the Nastran.ini file is located at:

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\webdeploy\shared\NASTRANSolver\12.1.1.9259\WIN64_3\NASTRANSolver

Open this file with notepad an search for a parameter: FILESPEC

Change the location to a different drive with more free disc space and see if you can run your analysis locally.
