RE: need help urgently
second, see in the properties of the patran link "working directory" where it's working.
RE: need help urgently

You have pirated this software, which is illegal! That is what johnhors is referring to. I suspect that most of us will be very reluctant to help at this point.

sorry

RE: need help urgently
your files are most likely located in your windows\temp directory, or other temp directory.
and to run the analysis you need nastran, not patran. Having patran with no nastran is useless (unless all you want to do is make mesh).

RE: need help urgently
If you have a "real" software you also have support or at least a licence key. So what you have is (best case) a worthless CD or (worst case) illegal software. For both cases I doubt that you will get much help in this forum.

fkmeyers,
do you have any facts to support this sentence? Because at first sight I find it vaguely offensive.

RE: need help urgently
Although it's going to offend a few people here and there, I believe that pirated software for EDUCATIONAL purposes is ok. It's impossible to get the high-end software with all the features for learning. I learned all of my CAD from such software, but in my workplace I use ONLY legit software, and the skills I aquired using "pirated" software.
Those who sell pirated copies whould be sent to prison for a long time.

The report was done 5 years ago and things may have improved since then.
RE: need help urgently
Yes I think Russia could now be in the 90's !
On a more serious side judging by his recent absence I guess the OP has got the message, though he did spawn a useful debate on a very serious issue.
RE: need help urgently
fmeyers,
the linked document is coherent with what I found from other sources. Still, a rank perfectly in line with the average piracy rate over EU (46%) in my opinion does not justify for your 'common piracy use' conclusion in Italy. On top of this, I fear this ratings include every kind of software, from entertainment to high-end engineering softwares used in industry/manufacturing.
I think in this latter field Italy is not worse than many other countries.

Here is another more recent report (2005)...

See Table 3. In this one Italy has a 50% piracy rate, Germany is 29%, France is 45%, UK is 27%.
RE: need help urgently
If we are talking about games/movies/general use apps, then Russia and the eastern block are the most illegal, and those countries DO use the $1000's apps illegally - for DCC, CAD, CAE, as well as all the general apps.
