Finite Element Analysis (FEA) hangs during Performing Analysis and does not finish the job with special computer environment in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling

Modified: 30-Oct-2025   


Applies To

  • Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.6 to 20.8

Description

  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA) hangs during Performing Analysis and does not finish the job with special computer environment 
  • Calculation gets stuck at Performing Analysis with module Finite Element Analysis (FEA) 
  • Jobs are not processed with module Finite Element Analysis (FEA) 
  • The nastran.exe is called, the job is created on the Scratch Dir, but the calculation does not continue
  • FEA analysis begins but never finishes
  • This behavior occurs in the following computer environments:
