    Geometry import error about unlicensed objects

    I'm running some thermal-structural analyses in WB 15.0 and have suddenly started getting a geometry import error when doing a task that I've done a million times before. I can't figure out why and was hoping someone else might have seen it before. I've got a Geometry cell that imports from...

    Time curve ignores points after step 63?

    You're right. I checked with them and was told that 2010 has the problem but 2011 doesn't. We haven't gotten ahold of 2011 yet, so my temporary solution, in case anyone is interested, is this: My input time curves had a lot of zeroes between the interesting pieces of loading (i.e. interesting...

    Time curve ignores points after step 63?

    I have tried inputting manually and also through cwcur. Both behave the same. My original load curve was essentially two cycles of a sinusoid with a large gap between, so I wondered whether there was something problematic about that. I've run into the problem of force-control vs...

    Time curve ignores points after step 63?

    I'll try the CM docs, but the FEA docs claim you can define up to 5000 points (see: http://help.solidworks.com/2011/English/SolidWorks/cworks/LegacyHelp/Simulation/Dialog_Box_Help/IDH_HELP_EDIT_DEFINE_FUNCTION_CURVE.html ) --Jeff

    Time curve ignores points after step 63?

    I'm an experienced user having trouble with the time curve in a linear dynamic analysis I'm working on. Has anyone else had this problem? I've defined a time curve for my load with (ideally) 181 points. Trouble is, on a simple test model the points after 63 are ignored (i.e. load is applied...
