mechanica n wf2 intergrated?

[puppet]

i just realised i have mechanica installed on this pc. Since i never
use it i never really tried anything with it. but when loading up a
part and then going to "applications mechanica" it comes up with the
following error.



Mechanica is not available. Only FEM Mode is currently available.



but i can goto program files -> ptc -> structural and thermal -> thermal.



and some black screen loads up who's interface looks like it was made
in the 80's, (mechanican wildfire) and doesnt look like the normal wf2
looking screen ive seen screen shots of when people are working on
mechanica.



is there a way to link the mechanica and wf2? or am i missing config settings.



basically i need help getting started, since as we all know I.T guys arent very helpfull or avalivble.

first be sure that you have a pro/mechanica wf licence


if you have you must set, during the installation, the path where proe wf will find pro/mechanica

Hi Puppet!


program files -> ptc -> structural and thermal -> thermal. It's independent mode of Pro/M. You must configure proe command in order to use mechanica in intergrated mode. During installation process, point out pro/M folder at "create and configure command" window.


Hope it helpful

you probably know this allready but it's under interoperability setting when you run setup.

 

[puppet]

what file or directory should i be targetting? in the mechanica box?

j:\mechwildfire 2.0\????? file or directory

 

[puppet]

ok

here it is

pro-setup file..



then cycle throught till u get to the menu where it asks u about

intralink and mechanica



then in the mechanica just point to the install directory



j:\mechanica_wf\







thanks to all those who helped
