Spaceclaim Not Opening
Colby DuLin
We have floating licenses for this version available, so installed it on a new pc. The licensing seems to work and i can activate/deactivate license packages without a problem. However, I can only open and save spaceclaim/ansys file formats.
thanks for your reply. I have read and write permission for those files. The error says: "Fehler beim importieren von "[filename].stp""("Error during import of "[filename].stp""). Attached you find a screenshot of the filetype dropdown menu during the "file menu -> open" import process. The STP format is not listed.
Additional info: The software maintenance subscription has ended. Could this cause a problem for new installations? However the same software version is running smoothly on other machines, where it was installed a couple of months ago.
When you first launch this SpaceClaim R19.2 installer, there are two buttons. One is called SpaceClaim, and the other is called SpaceClaim Translators. If you did not run that 2nd option, try doing that. The most common reason for missing file type options is overlooking that translators button in the install menu.
Confirm file compatibility: Ensure that the STEP file you are trying to open is a valid STEP file and not corrupted. You can try opening the file in another CAD software or STEP viewer to verify its integrity.
Also, when I double click on a SCDOC file in the Windows browser and SpaceClaim is already opened, the file is opened in a new session SpaceClaim and not in a new tab. In the previous version, the file was opened in a new tab. It is possible de change this behavior?
Regarding the second issue (when I double click on a SCDOC file in the Windows browser and SpaceClaim is already opened, the file is opened in a new session SpaceClaim and not in a new tab) I checked in both R19.1 and R19.2 version of Discovery SpaceClaim and in both versions, the file opens in a new session. In which version you noticed that the file gets opened in existing SpaceClaim session?
Attempting to associate the file (i.e. STEP, IGES, etc) with SpaceClaim.exe manually from the Windows list of programs produces no result. This includes manually browsing to and assigning spaceclaim.exe as the program to use.
That second issue (when I double click on a SCDOC file in the Windows browser and SpaceClaim is already opened, the file is opened in a new session SpaceClaim and not in a new tab) is pretty wide-spread. Since some time we have that on all our machines. It has the great disadavantage that users with network licenses tend to open several sessions, thereby checking out more licenses than intended, and subsequently preventing other users from accessing Spaceclaim.
The same issue has already been seen some yers ago. I submitted a bug report and Spaceclaim fixed it in the next release. After some release cycles it was back, though, and affected all work stations at once.
It is NOT A SOLUTION to have individual users change registry keys. A solution would be to write the application so as to properly handle this and not create or leave behind outdates keys. Spaceclaim has already proven it can be done, so have most other software suppliers. It is common behavior for Windows applications to open new documents in new tabs.
Roberto Hi, no we have not solved this issue, not even after a clean reinstall. Another instance is always opened when double-clicking an .scdoc in the explorer, and an empty design tab is also always opened along with the design opened, which makes no sense at all, given a design to open has been specified by that double-click, and nobody needs an unassociated new design then. I've pretty much given up on these two.
SAESC Just to confirm: Since we have a lot of people in home office now, we installed Spaceclaim on a few brand new laptops, and on none did it work as desired. Also, with every update, the registry needs to be edited again, which IMO is no acceptable solution, especially if updates are distributed over the network remotely by IT. When I first brought up this issue (some 6 or 7 yerars ago, maybe more), the team came up with a working solution in the next few releases, but after that, it got broken again. Spaceclaim is the only application having this issue I know of. All other applications can have file types associated with them and some even have a check box "Open in new tab" or "Open in new instance" in their settings dialogue. Whoah, how cool is that?
The product manager had a discussion with the development team regarding this issue and suggested me to submit a new defect for this problem so that the development team can look into it. So I have submitted BUG 438860 for this issue.
we did not. What I ended up doing is, once I started the process of opening the file I would hit ctrl+s. After about 3-4 minutes the save dialog pops up. I save it as a parasolid and force Mastercam closed wit the task manager. I restart the software and open the parasolid
if that actually works then you have found a loophole or exploit. Because many customers have paid to purchase the Unigraphics translator to open up UG files and that is the only way it can be done as far as i know. so if that's true that you have been able to do that then maybe they patched that
If you've gotten past selecting the file without being told that you don't have a license to open that type of file, then you have purchased the UG/NX file importer. The list of extensions shown in the dropdown for File/Open is the same for everyone - regardless of what's licensed.
About servo noises, you will have a hard time controlling that without opening the servo and changing things inside it. Typical servos like the ones you use give you an off-the-shelf position control but for smooth animatronics you will probably need finer control over speed and torque.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has proven useful in the planning of upper airway surgery in humans, where it is used to anticipate the influence of the surgical procedures on post-operative airflow. This technology has only been reported twice in an equine model, with a limited scope of airflow mechanics situations examined. The reported study sought to widen this application to the variety of procedures used to treat equine recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN). The first objective of this study was to generate a CFD model of an ex-vivo box model of ten different equine larynges replicating RLN and four therapeutic surgeries to compare the calculated impedance between these procedures for each larynx. The second objective was to determine the accuracy between a CFD model and measured airflow characteristics in equine larynges. The last objective was to explore the anatomic distribution of changes in pressure, velocity, and turbulent kinetic energy associated with the disease (RLN) and each surgical procedure performed.
Ten equine cadaveric larynges underwent inhalation airflow testing in an instrumented box while undergoing a concurrent computed tomographic (CT) exam. The pressure upstream and downstream (outlet) were measured simultaneously. CT image segmentation was performed to generate stereolithography files, which underwent CFD analysis using the experimentally measured outlet pressure. The ranked procedural order and calculated laryngeal impedance were compared to the experimentally obtained values.
The CFD model agreed with the measured results in predicting the procedure resulting in the lowest post-operative impedance in 9/10 larynges. Numerically, the CFD calculated laryngeal impedance was approximately 0.7 times that of the measured calculation. Low pressure and high velocity were observed around regions of tissue protrusion within the lumen of the larynx. RLN, the corniculectomy and partial arytenoidectomy surgical procedures exhibited low pressure troughs and high velocity peaks compared to the laryngoplasty and combined laryngoplasty/corniculectomy procedures. CFD modeling of the equine larynx reliably calculated the lowest impedance of the different surgical procedures. Future development of the CFD technique to this application may improve numerical accuracy and is recommended prior to consideration for use in patients.
Partial upper airway obstruction as a result of equine recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN) results in decreased performance and represents a complex surgical problem for the performance horse population. While there have been a large number of studies looking at the laryngoplasty (1, 2) and partial arytenoidectomy (3) surgical techniques and their effects on performance, there are still many suboptimal postoperative outcomes. Ex vivo models have contributed significantly to the refinement of these procedures, and further exploration of how laryngeal manipulation influences airflow development.
Similarly, an equine upper airway CFD model that replicated the anatomy from nares to trachea (18) has been reported. The model replicated the inhalation and exhalation cycles of an exercising horse with the anticipated air velocity and volumetric flow rates, demonstrating validity in the application of the equine patient (18, 19). A follow up study demonstrated the use of the model to investigate equine surgeries and found that 88% arytenoid abduction was an acceptable level to potentially improve performance in horses with arytenoid cartilage collapse (20). CFD has also been employed in the optimization of an equine nasal metabolic mask design to ensure that the mask would function as desired without significantly increased airway impedance (21). While CFD provides more specific and comprehensive information about the fluid mechanics in the equine subject, its continued validation and advancement are needed in this field to widen its applications.
