FLOTHERM error. What does it mean?

FLOTHERM error. What does it mean?

FLOTHERM error. What does it mean?

(OP)
I installed my Flotherm CFD software (V2.1) and am getting an error message on startup.  Can you make anything of it?  Should it be cause for alarm?

"ERROR E/01025-Unable to access Solution Data <possible file permission problem or file-system is full?>"

Why would the code look for “Solution Data” when I hadn’t even specified a project (or built a project for that matter)?  This error message came up immediately when I started my first session.  It comes up whenever I open the software.

Thanks for your help!

RE: FLOTHERM error. What does it mean?

As soon as you start up FLOTHERM, it looks for a directory that you were supposed to
specify during the installation process (or you can change later on, refer to the installation instructions).  Even before you define a problem, it begins to create a whole bunch of files and subdirectories where the problem definition and the solution will be stored.  Even the default problem (the blank domain) that you start with has some geometry associated with it.

Apparently FLOTHERM is having trouble writing to the pre-defined solution directory.  Check to see that you have write permission to that directory.  Or maybe the disk is full and you can't write to it.

tkordyban-
Good answer!  My installation instructions were stuffed into a recycling bin by a 3yr old and a recycling guy  happily carried them away to the county shredder. Do you have them in electronic form?  I'd be VERY HAPPY if you could send them via e-mail:

maximumengr@earthlink.net.

P.S.  I thought you would have retired by now with all your earnings from funny books?  This is not Herbie, by the way.

I think it would be better if you get the installation instructions direct from Flomerics.
They have an excellent support site for users at www.flotherm.com.  You may need to
get a password from them if you have never logged in before.  You can also get
pretty good technical support by phone (the web site has the contact numbers) or
by e-mail at support@flomerics.com.

This is a pretty simple problem, I think.  Most likely you were did not have administrator rights when you performed the installation, so it did not create the proper write permissions for the solution directory.  That is the thing to start looking for.
