Cosmosworks working directory Error

Cosmosworks working directory Error

Cosmosworks working directory Error

(OP)
Hi,

I'm trying to run a nonlinear, dynamic analysis of an assembly using cosmosworks 2005. I got everything set up and ran it.

The model meshes and starts solving fine. Somewhere down the line it quits and gives me a message of
"an unknown error occured with an unnamed file"
After this if I try accessing the plots or anything, it gives me two error msg's as
" Failed to create a temporary file. Change CosmosWorks working directory"
Once this is done, I need to restart cosmosworks because nothing works anymore.

I checked the result folder -which i think is the working directory- and it seems to have all the files there. Tried using different directories to solve it but still the same error.

There was an old thread which has a similar error, so I tried changing the mesh size, just to see if it works. But it didnt.

Help appreciated
