How to stop AutoGEM?

Aug 25, 2006 4 Replies

Hello, I am forced to do FEA of few threaded fittings, with NPT threads, not simplified. It takes ages to do it, but after finishing it looks nice. The problem is with some biggest ones, that make AutoGEM crazy. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it cannot. "Cannot" means, that after 15 hours of trying, it gives up. But after initial 5 minutes it is clear, that it won't go. It would be nice to stop the meshing process and go to geometry to simplify something (a lot of try&error work). Is there more cultural way to stop it than just killing xtop process and starting the proe again? Using Wildfire 2.0 and Win64.

Hey Konrad,

If you need to halt the meshing operation, in the lower right-hand corner of the ProE window there should be a red "stop sign" icon. If you click on it, usually in a couple moments, it will ask you if you want to stop the meshing process in a dialog box that will appear.

Hope this helps.
