Getting forrtl: severe (24): end-of-file during read, unit 8

[LongLe]

My FEA software crashes every time I run a mechanical event simulation. See attached pic showing error message. It has no problems running static analysis. I have attempted running a tutorial file included with the install to determine if the problem was operator-error on my part and had the same error message come up.

I am running Windows 32 Bit

Longle,
It should work if you use administrator on your machine.

I have a similar error (shown at bottom) that I received after installing on a new quad core. The analysis worked before on the old machine, and it apparently works for my Algor rep.

I believed it must be an installation issue. I re-installed it and I still get the same error. I am an administrator on this machine, so that isn't the solution.

Please let me know if any of you have resolved this.

I forgot to mention that I am using a 64 bit machine. Also, I tried the Regall.bat and got several "Access is denied" sequences when I run it, then it errors out.

I just talked to Algor and they said try installing it on a different machine because they said it soulds like the Softweare install is corrupted and if a re-install didn't fix it then try installing on a different OS

I discovered a solution to my error. I turned off User Account Control (in Vista) and now I can get the model to analyze. User Account Control usually prompts for permission to make any changes in Windows system files (or System32). I suspect that Algor is using the Windows System32 folder for some files during analysis. When I try to run an analysis with the User Account Control on, I get the error without any request for permission.

To remind you, I have been logged on as an administrator throughout so I don't know why I am being asked for permission.

Anyway, I turn off the User Account Control and it works for me.

So I ended up building a new machine and doing a fresh install of everything including FEA...so far so good...

New Specs:

Microsoft Windows XP 64bit
Intel Core i7 920 Overclock to 3.4ghz
12 GB DDR3 1600mhz
ATI FireVL 5100 (not sure if this is powerful enough)


Thanks for all your help and advice Guys!!!! You are the best

ok sooo a rebuild didnt work....I found the cause tho... Kinda of wierd...It was a group policy issue with Active Directory. Even tho my account was a part of the local admin group I was still unable to run it. I even ran Filemon and Regmon to try and track down if its something im getting to denied to, no luck there. As soon as I moved my user account into the NO GPO group. and Try running the MES Analysis agian works. So I have to review the GPO applied to the engineer OU. Well That resolved the issue for me...hope that helps out someone else as well.
