>>that´s strange. I took your project, opened and calculate it. No error occur. Did you try this with a another example?!<< Michael -- I have not tried any other examples. Before we go on, can you confirm that Z88 **should** run in my configuration, quoted below from my first post? Or could there be...

>>...you fixed three coordinates: x,y and z! But you have to fix only two: the x and y coordinate, because we have a two dimensional problem.<< Michael -- I made that change (in spite of what is shown in the video tutorial), but Solver still fails. I'm pretty sure I got to this place previously, whe...

Thanks!

Hi, M. Frisch -- I just sent you the requested files by private e-mail. Thanks! -- jclarkw

OK, I guess I misunderstood. I thought the front end ("preprocessor") in Aurora was supposed to facilitate design of a "part" from the built-in "elements." Not so? (I have no CAD software here...) -- jclarkw

Sorry, but I'm getting nowhere. (I misled you about the example; it's actually the Fork Wrench that I'm trying to follow.) Every time I follow the directions (either the sketchy and confusing ones in the PDF Examples file or the more explicit ones in the video), I get a Solver error. I can't see any...

I'm a new to Z88 Aurora and to FEM in general. I'm hoping you folks can help me get going with a **simple** 3-D example: I need to model in 3-D a solid, right-circular cylinder of glass of thickness/diameter around 1/10 (a telescope mirror) -- just a single, homogeneous, isotropic "part" a...

Dear FRudolph: Do you have any suggestions about the solver crash on the second example, described in the second part of my question 2 (repeated below for convenience)? I don't know how to interpret the progress window and log file attached to my first message... Thanks! - jclarw "More importan...

I'm hoping you folks can help me get going. I'm a new to Z88 Aurora and to FEM in general. Three questions at different levels: 1) I'm trying to run V2 under Windows XP SP3 on an old laptop with a single processor maxed out at 512 MB RAM. Is that already enough to cause my problems -- (2) below? (Wh...
