Problem import NASTRAN input file created by Patran 2007 with Patran 2013 (# Error APP INTERFACES )

[Marvin83]

Hello

I have just installed Patran and I try to import a NASTRAN input file created by Patran 2007 and I have the following Error:

$# Error reported in application APP INTERFACES by application FILE
$# Fatal errors encountered trying to read input file. The import process was aborted.

Could anybody help to solve this error

Thank you

Best regard

Can you upload your file? It is impossible to figure out the reason without it.

Ok

You can find it attached

Thank you

I tried your model with Patran 2013. No problem at all. I use Patran 2013 64-bit. There is a patch for Patran 2013. I installed this patch. Maybe that is the reason. The Patran *.db file is attached.

Thank you,

The model I could open with no problems

I will check the nastran license

Thank you very much

Best regards

It is the same website you downloaded Patran 2013 from MSC:

https://mscsoftware.subscribenet.com/control/mnsc/login?nextURL=/control/mnsc/index.

In the Current Releases tab for Patran, it shows Patran 2013 Patch 2, Patran 2013 Patch 1, and Patran 2013.
