NeiNastran-Ironcad integration

[bmckelvie]

I am attempting to tryout the free Nei Nastran that comes with IronCad, but When I start the Nei Nastran addin, it gives me the error, "This version of NEi Nastran in-CAD can only support opengl renderer, hence please change the Renderer to Opengl"

 

so I assumed that that would be under

/File/tools/options/rendering

 

But when I check the setting there it is already set to opengl.

 

So when I try to mesh a model, no mesh will show up, it counts up the total nodes and elements (I am keeping them under 10 000 as per the free limit), Thinking it was just not showing the mesh due to poor settings, I continued on and tried adding a constraint but it will not let me. so ether this is two problems, 1, there is a mesh but it is not showing up due to bad renderer settings or I have missed a step somewhere.

 

also I am following the learning center NEi Nastran overview.

 

Any help would be great

 

Thanks

No that option is greyed out.

I see, I did not notice that I had to close all models to change the render engine, now it is working thanks!
