ansys plugin failure

I have just installed the onespace designer module for ansys along with the correct license. Whenever I try to use it I get the following errors from ansys:

plugin error: Unable to start CAD system
plugin error: attach failed

When I go into the plugins options in onespace designer and try to activate the module there, I get this error:

.NET initialization failure

Now, the machine has .NET 1, 2 & 3 installed.

Does anyone have any clues about these errors?

Re: ansys plugin failure

Open the console window (View/Console), then enter the following command into the user input line:
Code:
  (f2::check-api-installation)
This will print some diagnostic output to the console window which can help to analyze the problem. (Post the results here if you want, or send them to CoCreate support.)

Re: ansys plugin failure

All the checks passed except these two:


Checking main interfaces...
14.0.2.4 03/30/07 08:15:10 - Interface\{5B45AFF1-D3B8-4e0d-BB90-B1DF834AEC1D}\: ERROR - Cannot find registry entry
14.0.2.4 03/30/07 08:15:10 *** Main interfaces problem detected.

Checking application object registration...
14.0.2.4 03/30/07 08:15:10 - CLSID\{75AA13D9-AB67-4918-937C-1FD7E8F2EC37}\: ERROR - Cannot find registry entry
14.0.2.4 03/30/07 08:15:10 - *** Application object registration problem detected


I'm reinstalling OSD at the moment to see if that makes any difference.

Re: ansys plugin failure

The diagnostic output indeed suggests that OneSpace Modeling was not fully registered with COM and .NET.

To re-register, you don't necessarily have to reinstall. Open a DOS prompt window, then change into the OneSpace Modeling installation directory. Change into the "binNT" subdirectory, then run the following command:

Code:
  SolidDesigner.exe -register
To make sure that all users "see" the registration, make sure that you run this under an administrative account.

Which OS version is this, by the way?

Re: ansys plugin failure

I completely removed ANSYS and OSD and reinstalled everything from the ground up. Errors are gone and everything seems to be working as expected.

Thanks for your help
