Check the unit system of your Start Space. When using a Start Space the STL-file needs to be available in the same unit system as the optimisation was setup. Further information about a Restart here.

W1cc18b49

No Solver IP was found in the configuration file.

...

GPU solution was requested but is not installed - running on the CPU only.

The GPU service is not installed. The optimisation will continue and fall back to local CPU solving.

...

The Matrix is too large for the GPU solver.

The GPU memory is too small for the model. The optimisation falls back to CPU calculation. Continue calculating on CPU or reduce the matrix by adjusting the model ( e.g. reduce the
Complexity).

...

If you have used the GUI to setup the model, this will be handled automatically.

W7aa7a778

The Machining Allowance … is too small to be represented. Choose a bigger Machining Allowance so that a representation is possible.

W74bbc128

The Machining Allowance is much larger than Design Space. Please check the unit dimensions in Configuration File.

W2ab3f0d8

The Machining Allowance protrudes the build area box. Choose a smaller Machining Allowance.

W61379840

Meshfix warning …

...

Either due to W39fed060, W1cc18b49, W1cc213b7, W1cc2b4cd or W8637fb8 or as a result of a GPU solver failure / communication issue.

If any of the other warning codes were reported, refer to them. Otherwise check the GPU solver log and its service status (C:\Windows\Temp\cudaSolver).

...

This is an information regarding the usage of GPU solving.

The GPU solving was not activated and the optimisation will be carried out on CPU.

...

This is an information regarding the usage of GPU solving.

The GPU solving was activated and the software will use GPU solving if there aren’t any other issues.

...

This is an information regarding the usage of GPU solving.

If you wish to optimise using GPU solving, make sure you have installed the GPU service. Further information regarding the installation and usage here.

W1ce059fa

One or more of the boundary conditions (Load, Moment, Acceleration, Pressure or Displacement) could not be found in the configuration file.

...

Restart file volume is magnitudes smaller than Design Space. Please check the scaling of the restart file and make sure it fits to the unit system of the model.

...

Unable to find file for optimisation space … .

If you are using the Command Line execution, add an STL-file that’s set as the optimisation space to the folder and start the optimisation anew.

...

The optimisation continues with the default value for the Complexity. If you want to change the value go to the Application Settings - Generative Design Solver Studies Taband adjust the value.

W1c89362a

...

Connection to GPU solver was not possible. Falling back to CPU solving. This can happen in different situations:

  • The GPU Service is not installed. Please check if the GPU Service installation was successful by checking the computers services for “MSC Apex GD GPU Solver Engine 2020 Feature Pack 1 (port …)”.

  • The GPU Service is not running. Please have a look at your computers Services and make sure the “MSC Apex GD GPU Solver Engine 2020 Feature Pack 1 (port …)” is running.

  • The network interface is no longer active. This can happen if you are disconnecting from a network. Make sure that the network adapters in the computer Device Manager do not go into sleep mode to save power when disconnected.

...

If you are using the Command Line execution, make sure a Strut Density is set in the Configuration File. Supported are the types Dense, Medium and Sparse. The optimisation will continue with the default option Medium. If you would like to use another Strut Density please define this in the Studies Tab/Configuration File.

Please contact the MSC Apex Support.

...

This can be a hint that the STL-file format is incorrect for a Restart or Start Space optimisation. It’s also possible that the input STL-file is defect. Please check the unit system and the quality of the input STL-file.

...

Otherwise, reduce the Complexity of your optimisation model (Application Settings - Generative Design SolverStudy Tab).

W175a5d37

Unable to meet requested detail level. Minimum level: …

...

The input level of detail cannot be reached. Adjust the detail value and try another optimisation run.

If you have added Advanced User Settings with adjusted iteration levels and stress goalsStress Goals, these are not chosen very well. Please adjust your model set up and try another optimisation run.

...

The model is too large, complexity is too high for this optimisation model.

If you have added Advanced User Settings with adjusted iteration levels and Stress Goals, these are not chosen very well. Please adjust your model set up and try another optimisation run.

...

Config line is not UTF-8 encoded

The input of the configuration file Configuration File doesn’t meet the required coding standard. If you have entered wide-characters, please change these and try to start the optimisation again.

Please contact MSC Apex Generative Design support for further help.

...

“The Mask … was removed.”

The Design Space has lost the connection to a Non-Design Space on which no boundary conditions are applied (former W8b7af774).

FAQ: Tearing off of Non-Design Spaces

...

“Start space volume is magnitudes bigger than design space. You might want to check start space scaling”

The Start Space STL-file is in a wrong unit system.

Only the SI-Unit system is supported for a Restart.

Ec3b1ac29

“No fixed knots found.”

The Design Space has lost the connection to one or more of the fixation(s). The model is no longer fixated and it doesn’t make sense to continue with the optimisation.

FAQ: Tearing off of Non-Design Spaces

...

“The … was removed and the applied boundary constraints are not considered”

The Design Space has lost the connection to the force/constraint application point. The model is no longer complete and it doesn’t make sense to continue with the optimisation.

FAQ: Tearing off of Non-Design Spaces

In case you are using the symmetry option, have a look at your model setup. The forces and constraints must be applied on the part of the model in the direction of the positive coordinate system of the model.

Ec9140297

Please don't overlay different Coordinate Systems that have fixation constraints.

Check your fixation constraints which refer to the local coordinate systems.

E1c9e4357

Missing iteration level … in config

The input of the Advanced User Settings is incomplete.

E1cbd48f4

Memory allocation error.

There is not enough working memory available. Adjust the complexity Complexity to a lower value and restart the optimisation.
