 Having
started the simulation, one of the following error messages appears:
-
"Invalid system call or division by zero detected."
-
"Win386: A program error has been detected..."
 This
problem may show up on fast PCs, such as Pentium II 300 MHz and higher.
Please install the newest update. |
How
to configure a network installation of FluidSIM where several users
-
use the same FluidSIM installation,
-
need no write permission for the central FluidSIM directory,
-
have individual options/configuration files in their respective
home dictionaries?
Firstly,
install FluidSIM on the server in a shared directory. Secondly, for each
user, set up a directory (e.g. G:\HOME\USER1\FL_SIM_P)
and copy the directories aq and misc
(from the shared directory). Thirdly, for each user, create an association
from fl_sim_p.exe that refers to the
user's working directory.
Example:
 |
| Circuit
printouts on a high resolution printer (600 dpi and more) appear unsatisfactory,
because of the very thin lines.
Install
the newest update , which has a print routine
that works independently from the printer's resolution. |
| Printing
on a network printer does not work. However, network printing with other
programs works.
Sometimes
it is necessary to assign a printer port to the network printer. This can
be accomplished as follows. Open the printer's properties dialog box in
the Windows control panel. Add a new port (e.g. LPT1 or LPT2 if a local
printer is already connected) and select this port as printer output.

| Playing
the educational films does not work in the network.
Two
possibilities exist to play the educational films without having a local
CD-ROM drive.
1. Use the CD-ROM drive from some other PC in the
network
Necessary pre-condition: The respective PC has both global
access enabled and a drive letter assigned for the CD-ROM.
2. Use a hard disk drive in the network
Necessary pre-condition: The newest update
is installed. Moreover, create a file user.txt
in the misc directory of the FluidSIM
installation. Edit this file and insert the text "3 <path>",
where <path> is to be replaced
by the absolute path pointing to the avi-files
(observe the blank following the number).
Example:
The educational films can be copied from the FluidSIM
CD. They are located in the directory fl_sim_p\mov
(and fl_sim_h\mov respectively) |
The
simulation is aborted and the following message appears:
The
message indicates that a supply unit has not been used properly in a circuit.
The following figures illustrate both a proper and a non-proper usage of
a supply unit.
