Problem in Femap 11.2 reading older version files

Problem in Femap 11.2 reading older version files

Problem in Femap 11.2 reading older version files

(OP)


I am using an academic license and this problem may be related to that.
Just installed Femap 11.2 and tried to open files from the previous version (11.1.2). I get the message
"Unable to open Student Version Model in this version"
and then on the next window I get
"Unable to start Database Converter C:\FEMAPv112\util\neu_111.exe."
and in the next window I get
"Invalid Version 11.2 Model Database (11.1). If this is an old model it must be converted, otherwise choose a different file."
I have numerous files I need to open. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

RE: Problem in Femap 11.2 reading older version files

Hi

I don't know what your specific problem i related to but when I open v11.1 files in v11.2 it works fine.

The only thing I have noticed is that the subcase factors disappear and that the NLPARM is added for each subcase even if I defined it in a Master Case in v11.1.

Perhaps if you have v11.2 as a "real" version and not the academic there could be som issue.

I hope you find a solution.

Hi,

What about exporting a neutral file from the V11.1.2?
You can also export/import a .dat file but you will only have finite element model without geometry.

I got word from the Femap folks that this is a bug in 11.2 when a academic license is used and will be fixed in the next update in about a month. Yes, compositesecurves, the neutral file is a work around for now. Thanks for your input.
