Hi all,
After installing Mic Mac FEA (abaqus student edition) + abaqus SE I can not run the FEA analysis.
I get error 53, file not found.
I have proceeded as in the documentation to reinstall abaqus, but keep on having the same problem.
I believe abaqus is properly installed (it runs on its own), I work on a lap top -no network-, I have installed Mic Mac FEA in the same folder as Abaqus (just in case) and I have also manually (in the c: command window) written the path where the "missing" batch file is;
I keep on having the same error message.
Can anyone help me or suggest a solution?
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi, Did you uzip (decompress)
Hi,
Did you uzip (decompress) the MicMac/FEA file using any decompressing software (e.g., WinZip)? If not you should first unzip the file and then launch Excel from the unzipped folder. Just double clicking or exploring the downloaded zip folder will not work as the excel file is still in compressed form. Hope this solves the problem. Please let me know if you are still having a problem.

Unzip
Thank you for the suggestion.
I believe I did it that way originally. Nevertheless I have double cheked unzipping Mic-Mac FEA as mentioned. It does not work either.
I keep on having the same error message.

Mic Mac FEA
I had the same problem the last time this class was taught and the problem was related to Vista. The error occured on a computer running Vista, but ran fine on a computer running Windows XP. Pranav later indicated that the program had not been validated on Vista.

Thanks John for your input.
Thanks John for your input. You are right. The program is not validated in Vista environment (we do not have/use Vista OS). We certainly need to make it workable in Vista too.

Thank you John. I do have
Thank you John.
I do have Windows Vista indeed, and unfortunately no possibility of using Windows XP.
Dear Pranav,
Will the Windows Vista version be available soon?
In that case, please try
In that case, please try reinstalling the Abaqus SE version. In some cases, this seem to have fixed the error. Please let me know if it still does not work.

Dear Manuel, I think the
Dear Manuel,
I think the error occurred because of the fact that the MicMac/FEA is written for Abaqus 6.7.1 whereas you are using 6.7.5. I have prepared a file for Abaqus 6.7.5 and have emailed you a file. Please check your email.
For other who are using different version from Abaqus 6.7.1 please let me know.
Thanks.
