Error while importing Forces - MSC Nastran
« on: May 21, 2014, 07:40:35 AM »
Hello,

the FE import process is aborting on my machine during import of the Element Forces from the op2-file. THe attached error message appears. The same model is beeing imported correctly on other machines. It seems to have something to do with my configuration!?

Decimal Symbol is "." and Digit grouping symbol ","
Anyone a clue?

There is a system setting that needs to be modified to support international OS where the decimal and digit grouping symbols are switched from the English OS.

See this thread:
http://hypersizer.com/forum/index.php/topic,372.0.html

Let me know if this resolves the issue.

Thanks James,

what I meant was that I used German format and manually switched Decimal Symbol to "." and Digit grouping symbol to "," but this lead to the "boolean error".

Now I also tried using English (USA) as format, but then I'm no more able to start HyperSizer at all and this error message appears.

Can you translate the original error message you received when attempting to import the .op2 element loads?

Oh, of course, it is something like "The String/Sequence was not detected as a valid boolean".

There a place in the code where it attempts to convert the text argument "TRUE" or "FALSE" into a boolean variable. This is probably failing for your OS because of the language issue.

We can fix this immediately. You said that your colleagues are able to get this working on their machines. Perhaps this is another language setting?

I have german format with customized settings as in the attachments. Settings are exactly the same like the ones from my colleagues.
Also I attached the error message in english.
