Error writing compressed file during auto save
 

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem when using the autosave function in Fluent v13. I have it installed on my laptop (Vista), and the calculations run fine, but the program stops and gives me the error when it does auto save saying

Error: error writing compressed file
Error Object: #f

Any suggestions as to why this is happening and what the solution is? :confused: I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi. It could be due to the path root name. e.g. if the folder name where your are working has a 'strange' character, like ?,!,",ñ,etc. try to rename your folders. Hope this help

Regards

Hi,

It also happens when your hard drive is full, or if you don't have the correct rights on the folder.

Marion.

Also, are you writing to a local disk or server? This has caused me angst in the past.

Thanks for the replies. It's not a new file, just a new version of Fluent (upgraded from 12) and I'm on a laptop now with admin account on Vista. Working dir is my flash drive (G:) and so is my saving location. No funny characters in the directory (except underscores). I have tried changing my save location to D:drive, but no difference.

This is what appears in the pop up box
Error writing "| gzip -2cfv > J:\MZ\turbine_closed_files\dp0\FLU-2\Fluent\SYS-3-01205.cas.gz".
