Catia v5r18 Runtime Exception error
Catia v5r18 Runtime Exception error
(OP)
Ladies and gentlemen;
I installed Catia v5 onto a new workstation and have successfully installed the new licenses. When I attempt to start Catia I get the "runtime exception" error message. I have done some checking and several postings have said to change the graphics card, and I have tried a geforce 6200 w/ 256MB, a geforce 7600 w/ 512 MB and finally a radeon x1650 w/ 512MB all of these bounce with the same error at the same place.
The system is an AMD @ 2.16ghz, 2GB ram, XP SP3 32bit, 250GB HDD, and the 512MB Radeon card.
I'm at a total loss, any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Chris

jim: the system that catia is installed on (and working) that we're migrating away from is an IBM with 2 Xeon @ 700mhz, and this is using a geforce 4, and Catia is working fine on that system. My supervisor is using Catia v5 on his station with a radeon x1650 pro graphics card too. This leads me to believe something else lying below the surface.
Any other suggestions??

CATIA (and most other 3-D CAD Systems) uses OpenGL for its graphic calls. The Quadra and FireGL graphics cards have built in hardware support for this protocol. The Gaming Cards do not - they require the CPU to interpret the calls, and convert them to DirectX so that the Graphics Cards can interpret them. This adds additional load to the CPU, and provides an additional path for error and bugs.
As It's My Job stated, most of us use Certified Hardware to run CATIA, even for the smaller jobs and lower end users.

Our company does not use Catia for its primary CAD software we use Visi (it's English). We are required to have an install of Catia to be able to do work for some of our customers so I'm trying to avoid sinking a load of money into a system that sits around 95% of the time and from what i've seen, the quadro and firegl cards are costly.

I would suspect you have mainboard or memory issues.
I have run Catia on home built machine that AMD Athlon64, Athlon64 x2 and Phenom processors no problem.

Can you try a friends card that you know works??
Otherwise go certified
