Solidworks Flow Simulation crashed when viewing results
 

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue I am having in Flow Simulation.

I can solve my simulation, but when I go to view results Solidworks instantly crashes. This happens most often when I try to view a cut-plot.

I ran Solidworks Rx and found no issues, and am currently repairing my SW install.

Is there a way to generate a crash report to see what is causing the issue?

Here are my system details:

SW2014 SP2
Windows 8.1
ASUS Q550LF Laptop
Quad-core i7 4700U (1.8GHz)
8GB RAM
NVIDIA GT 745M GPU (1GB)

Any help appreciated!

John

I finished re-installing SW and this did not solve the problem.

I am open to ideas.

Have you checked the "windows log" through Event viewer ? :)

Change your grafic gard to a quadro or Firegl and it will work // sorry you have a Laptop. :(

here is the link certified Card for solidworks

Usually might be related to the graphics card but you should first try to update your drivers as there might have been some updates in the visualization that requires a newer version of some drivers such as OpenGL or something else.
If that doesn't help try if you can show another plot such as surface or trajectories.

You should go to Systemoptions --> Performance --> Check Use OpenGL
This should fix the issue with the crashing cut plot.

Be aware that some functionalities of the software will be affected, e.g. if you want to save an animation, you have to check this option out, otherwise you will get black screen only.
