MixSim, Windows: "Add Object:" button list is empty -- cannot add any object to Tank
|
A new Mixsim installation. Run the first session. Create a new model. Go to the "Cylindrical Tank" model: The "ADD Object:" button list in the right column of the "Model Management" panel doesn't appear, i.e. is empty. Reason: When Mixsim is launched, the operating system (any MS Windows) gets the executable file (...Fluent.Incntbinntx86mixsim.exe) from a network shared area (like in serverFluent.Inc...) rather than from a (local or network mounted) logical drive (like in F:Fluent.Inc...). This happens if... - The user types the complete path (like serverFluent.Incntbinntx86mixsim) - The shortcut icon has been defined using a path like "serverFluent.Inc..." - The PATH environment variable contains something like "serverFluent.Inc..."(!!) Resolution: - Install MixSim locally, or mount the installation area as a logical (network) drive, so that it can be accessed through a drive letter. - If necessary, type the complete path for launching mixsim, as in "F:Fluent.Incntbinntx86mixsim" - Modify the definition of your shortcut icons (on the desktop and/or in the Start menu) accordingly - Modify your PATH environment variable. __________________ If you need further help with these suggested procedures, please contact your local technical support service. |
