Question

MC15 Co-Sim with ANSYS Simplorer

Hello;

 

I am having an issue with not running a co-simulation between MathCAD15 (network license pool) and ANSYS Simplorer circuit program, in which the simulation hangs up after starting it. I have tried this on three different PC platforms with the same results. After installing a trial version of MC15 (local machine), the co-simulation works fine, I am assuming its an issue with the pinging the MC license over the networking.

 

Has anyone else resolved a similar type of issue?

 

Does PTC still sell a node-lock license for MC15?

 

Thanks,

 

Jon

First off: I have no experience with Simplorer, so I looked it up to find information.

Ansys Simplorer is a funny beast, it is apparently not a product of Ansys. I could find only ONE page on the Ansys website that actually spells out 'simplorer': https://www.ansys.com/resource-library/brochure/ansys-simplorer. I had to use google to find that page.

The name does not occur in the list of Ansys products on the Ansys web site. Mathcad is only mentioned twice: in the brochure for Simplorer via that web site. No examples of actually using it are provided.

 

Does Ansys specify with which versions of Mathcad its Simplorer can co-simulate? I could not find it in the online brochure...

You say that it all works OK with a locally installed Mathcad 15 trial: Are you trying to co-simulate an Ansys Simplorer on your local machine with a Mathcad running on a remote machine?

Luc,

The ANSYS Simplorer program is on a network license. The only Mathcad file version that will co-sim is .mcd.

Hmm 'version .mcd' could mean anything from Mathcad 1 to Mathcad version 12, but not 13, 14 or 15 (since they primarily use .xmcd).

So what is co-simulation between Simplorer and Mathcad supposed to do? Does Simplorer read and interpret the Mathcad file, or does it communicate (inter-process) with Mathcad running/calculating a sheet and use the numerical results that Mathcad produces based on some input ?

 

Success!
