Dear all.

I am using CAESAR 5.10.But while generating ISO by ISOGEN everytime it said that error in processing in pcf file.And also from static output 3d model I can not locate overstress area in red color form.It always said that no overstressed points,or no allowables.

Can any one help?

Use the [Search] option (to the right above the Calendar) to review ISOGEN issues and solutions.

Additionally, you may have success placing this Batch File in your CAESAR II directory, and running it from there.

I am having the same issue with ISOGEN. I have tried searching this forum for help with this issue with no luck. Also when I try to open the batch file above it fails because "the specific module could not be found". Any thoughts?

As for the question about overstressed areas in the 3d model, read the fourth post from the top on the main forum page. It is a sticky which will help you understand why there are no allowables in your operating case.

If you see the error in processing pcf file, it means the main function in pisogen dll is called, but it returns "-1" and the execution fails. It could be due to a bad pcf file, or that some other dependencies are missing. You can find out the details by examing the message file (MES).

When you see "the specific module could not be found", it means those dlls listed in batch file are not located in that directory. You probably use CAESAR verson 5.00 where they are installed in "Common Files" folder.

Thanks Shawn.
I moved the batch file to the same location as the .dll files and after extracting and running it I now get a message that each of those .dll files "succeeded". But still when I try to create an isometric drawing I get the same Status Message that says "Error processing pcf file" but the Message File is blank. I am using 5.10. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

I am having the same problem of PCF not found when I try to use "existing style" and when I try to use the default option I get the error of "Check Box Control for Annotation Grid not found".

I tried to locate the DLLs mentioned in the batch file but could not.
The version of CAESAR I am using is 5.00.7, (Build 070122). I thought it's version 5.10.
