Dear Patrick, the integrated nodal force processor of Z88 Aurora (Z88R) internally uses the calculated deflections and stores the computed nodal forces in Z88O4.TXT. But the "forces" of the DOF 4, 5 and 6 are really moments, because the DOF 4, 5 and 6 are the rotational DOFs. Regards, Z81

Dear Patrick, as I may quote from the theory manual (page 138): 5.24 SHELL NO.24 WITH 6 NODES [...] The first three degrees of freedom are the global displacements in X, Y and Z [U1, U2, U3]. The degrees of freedom 4 and 5 are the torsions on the respective node; degree of freedom 6 is a pseudo-DOF ...

Dear Mr. Johansson, the problem you're describing is derived from missing dxf-file preparation. According to the Z88 Aurora theory manual (menubar > help > theory guide) several layers containing model information like node numbers (Z88KNR) or element information (Z88EIO) have to be added. For furth...

Hi everybody, it seems on some Macs there arose this problem with the update to OS 10.6.7. (Not on my MacPro nor on my MacBook but on at least two other Macs I know). As the problem seems quite unreproducible, at least a reliable solution can be given. If the problem occurs, a simple reinstall does ...

Hi LuisG, well, I'll try my very best. Therefore some questions: Could you quote the terminal message exactly? Did the problem happen after a certain type of action (e.g. every time you click one special button, something like that)? What version of Mac OS / MacBook (processor, etc.) do you have? Di...

Hi LuisG,
we're glad our forum could help..
In case of further questions, you know where to find us .
Best regards,

Hallo Gerard, nein, Sie haben das nicht verursacht. Im Zuge der Umstellung auf ein neues Forum ist leider Ihr Artikel - mit anderen Worten der zu diesem Zeitpunkt neueste Artikel - verschwunden. Der Rest existiert noch. Natuerlich stehen wir Ihnen gerne weiterhin auch im neuen Forum fuer Ihre Fragen...

Hallo ArtWooD, wohin haben Sie Z88 Aurora installiert? Bitte stellen Sie bei Ihrem Installationspfad sicher, dass dieser keine Leer- oder Sonderzeichen (wie ?, ?, ?) enthaelt. Gleiches gilt f?r das spaetere Projektverzeichnis. Hierzu gibt es bereits Beitraege: http://www.z88.uni-bayreuth.de/php/view...

Dear Danilo,

we're glad it finally works. So aurora_ico's first proposal to change the fonts
was correct. Unluckly the standard font wasn't avaiable as it should. Well,
we're glad we could help!

Have fun with Z88 Aurora!
Best regards,
Z81

Dear dyku, have you defined the respective paths in the toolbar? > help > options > paths Normally they are : STEP-Konverter c:\z88aurorav1\addons\geocon\win32 resp. win64 TETGEN c:\z88aurorav1\addons\tetgen\win32 resp. win64 NETGEN c:\z88aurorav1\addons\netgen\win32 resp. win64 Then click OK and re...

Dear Danilo, I don't think that will be the case. You're right, you need a X11-Server to run Z88, but if you have 10.6.6 Snow Leopard - there already is one (/usr/X11/..) included; since 10.5 Leopard to be precise. The XQuartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.org X Wind...

Dear Danilo, if you are operating another "opt" folder you can do the following trick, in order to keep both, the old and the new one: open a Terminal (Go > Applications > Utilities > Termial) prompt cd / (go to the uppermost directory) sudo mv opt opt_old (move your old "opt"-di...

Dear Danilo,

it seems the pango-folder within the gtk-package was not installed properly.
Does the opt/local/etc/pango folder exist? Which files are inside?

Hallo greenland, die Meldung: ERROR: 12 wrong oriented neighbourtriangles found! impliziert, dass die Step-Datei Geometriefehler ausweist. Daher kann Netgen diese nicht vernetzen. Versuchen Sie die Datei aus Ihrem CAD-System neu auszuschreiben und setzen Sie entweder die Ausschreibegenauigkeit herun...

Guten morgen greenland, die von Ihnen beschriebenen Probleme k?nnen wie folgt angegangen werden. Alles steht und f?llt mit der Vernetzung, die nicht funktioniert hat. Da Sie so detailliert beschreiben, welche Pfade Sie eingestellt haben (Mediaplayer, PDF-Reader und Browser) folgere ich, dass die Pfa...
