Hi there,
It seems I'm facing the same problem in my Windows 10 computer.

debug.log file is here.

I'm attaching the files.

I've already done 'pip3 install nheri_simcenter --upgrade' in the Powershell which installed numerous packages. However, still seeing the same error messages.

I appreciate if you give me a lead.

Best regards.

Dear all,
I've noticed an issue when I'd like to see the quoFEM results not on RES tab but in the produced file. I've placed the screenshots in the attached file which is explained below.

A. Start quoFEM and select an example (Ex 1).
B. Run quoFEM
C. Look into BIM.json file and see that I found the lines from input.json.
D. If I re-run the quoFEM then BIM.json is changed.
E. The results are now in the end of BIM.json file for Ex 1.
F. Following Ex 1, if I select and run another example (Ex 2), BIM.json now contains input.json from Ex 2 but the summary part is still Ex 1.
G. re-run quoFEM for Ex 2 and then summary of BIM.json is now containing results of Ex 2.

If this is an issue, I may state that quoFEM is not dumping the results to BIM.json file once the analysis completed. I noticed this as an issue but perhaps someone may have an explanation.

The motivation of looking into BIM.json file is to access the quoFEM results not through the interface but the produced files. Is there any other file(s) where I may read the results rather than mingling with BIM.json file.

Looking forward prompt reply.

Dear Sang-ri,
I've tested two case where I moved from OneDrive folder to Desktop of the computer.

1. Cantilever beam deflection.
It still fails but error message is "21:14:50 - Error Running Dakota: Could not spawn; error code 0 (No error)" instead of "no dakota...". It seems quoFEM would solve if I had constructed problem better.

Details can be found in the attached file named as "2022_0713-AAD-quoFEM-MessageDocumentation.pdf"

2. Material test- best fit.

I was facing the same "no dakota..." error when I tried another problem in which a test data was used in the determination of yield force. It was again in one of the OneDrive folder. Having moved from OneDrive to Desktop, contrary to the above case, I ran quoFEM successfully.

Details can be found in the attached file named as "2022_0713-AAD-quoFEM-Success_Documentation.pdf". I'm also enclosing all files used in the second case.

I've one question and one conclusion in mind and a recommendation about the UI.

Question: Why I failed "Cantilever beam deflection" even if I moved all the files to Desktop but Sang-ri succeeded?

Conclusion: Considering the Material test- best fit case (second case above), OneDrive is not the best folder to keep the input files (main, params, input.json).

I'll be pleased if you can lead me answering my question and comment on my conclusion.

Recommendation: I believe there should be a reset button in the UI. If one tries to run different cases, text boxes (input script, postprocess script, RVs , EDPs) are messing up with irrelevant input text. I've found that exit and start quoFEM after every run is a practical solution

Best regards.

Dear all,
I'm very much pleased running examples in quoFEM. As come to create my own problem I'm facing a simple but hard issue 

I'm trying to obtain the best value in a simple cantilever tip deflection problem using 1) direct formula 2) openseespy. I include the files for first approach to this message and a pdf screenshots file. 

I'm facing the same error message  " No dakotaTab.out file - dakota failed .. possibly no QoI " in the UI. It seems that I'm missing very fundamental but tricky point in the json file. I hope you can let me find where I'm failing.

Best regards

Dear all,
It's been seven class days as of today and three days more to go.

I suggest to develop a programme by the collaboration with volunteers. We can benefit from Github for code sharing and development.

The programmes I'd recommend;

• Reinforced Concrete Section Analysis (moment-curvature) with simple material models
• Beam deflection analysis (linear elastic material and static forces)

Why don't we write one of the above or your possible suggestions in Python and in C/C++. Perhaps, we may try the openMPI if we write in C/C++.

I wonder your response whether this is a fruitful or worthless effort?

Best regards from Istanbul.

Dear all,
I'd forked the Bootcamp repository and done "git clone https://github.com/ahmetanildindar/SimCenterBootcamp2020" to my computer prior the start of the classes. This happened last Friday.

I was late to the first hour yesterday and missed some topics on git.

Here is my question; is it possible to update my forked repository which is of course behind the current Simcenter and somehow sync with current Simcenter?

I hope I've expressed myself well.
