Hi everyone I will be documenting and experimenting on how to get the optimal mesh quality for an FSAE half simulation (and eventually full car) with focus on important parameters such as: Total mesh cell count - (dont want too many core hours / memory failure with 32 processors) Y+ Layer forma…

[image] dschroeder: I used meters (m) and not millimeters (mm) because i assume Simscale needs to have these numbers in meters (m). Although I have seen SimScale have many problems when using English vs SI units, I have NEVER seen SimScale ask for meters when it wants mm… In fact, I have I h…

pretty sure i dont, im running the new paraview wich is 64 bit [image]

Most likely the ocx didn’t register, here is a debugging thread for that, I know the setup zip should include the ocx, then we just need to get it registered and then find out why it did not register when setup exe was run… https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/fix-for-richtx32-ocx-component-error-wh…

ok i think the ocx is already there. when i tried to extract to theSysWOW64 it asked to copy or replace [image]

It could be there and not registered, try the regsvr32 command with admin rights… then it will tell you if it registers… If it has registered then maybe it is a language/windows setup issue :thinking:

so run this as administrator? sorry im terrible with coding / hacker level computer stuff haha [image]

I have to find a computer around here that I have never ran yPlusHistogram on it before and see if I have same issue…

I tried both and the 32 bit one had an error, the 64 said it cant the path [image] It could be the language issue. Or maybe that im running windows 7? i have no idea

Change directory in the terminal window using cd c:… to the dir where the ocx is, then type the command without any of the % items…

Is this what you mean? the OCX in the same place as the program? I have no idea :sweat_smile: [image]
