Problem attaching XDB

[meolo2002]

Hi to everybody!
I've some problems with the xdb attachment of a model.This model is quite large, and the xdb dile is about 24mb.
When i perform attachment patran stops at ***Begin attach file***.
The statusi icon is green so probably patran is not working...
What's the problem? Could i attend some minutes? Memory is too small?
Any ideas?

I would paste the first 10 lines of your .bdf or .dat file here so I may immediately rule out common errors.

These are the first three lines:

yesterday i've found some errors in 6 elements, but i've not corrected them yet cause some problems on platform.

Things look fine. Can you please paste the entries these case control statements are referring to, SPC = 2 and LOAD = 2?

I am starting to wonder this may be a Boundary Condition issue. What sort of "FATAL" or "WARNING" messages in the .f06 file?

 

[meolo2002]

Ok i've found a solution. There was some problems dued to debugging

Hey guys,

Sorry to bring up an old post but how did you end up solving the issue because I'm having the same problem.

Thanks in advance,
