Code:
dd@uuu:~$ pointwise -version
Pointwise V17.1R4
dd@uuu:~$ pointwise

Pointwise crashes all the time, whenever I try to choose a CAE solver. It seems to happen only when I was using unstructured mesh type, no problem is found when I choose structured mesh type. Following is a journal that how you can reproduce the crash that I have seen (basically, I just created a rectangle and then build a unstructured mesh in it, and then I go to select the CAE and bang...). Any ideas what's happening?


Code:

Daniel,

I was unable to reproduce the problem. I ran the journed script and was able to select a solver and setup the CAE boundary conditions. However, I'm using Pointwise on Windows 7...looks like you may be on Linux?

If you think you've encountered a bug, I suggest you contact our support department. Here's a link http://www.pointwise.com/support/gethelp.shtml

They'll get back to you shortly after you fill out the form.

Yes, ubuntu here. Never mind, I can select CAE ahead to avoid the segv fault

I suggest reporting it anyway, despite the workaround. This way support will be aware of the problem and our developers can track it down and fix it. Fixing problems like this allows us to continue making Pointwise a robust tool.
