extra tokens

filippo.aero · March 16, 2009, 03:23

Hello to everyone, I'm learning how to use Star-CD 4.06 and I have encounered a strange error: following the tutorial about a mixing pipe i start prostar -amm and select advanced> classic interface. A popup windows appears with "loading GUI, please wait" but in the output window I can read an error about extra tokens at line ecc... in ampanel.tcl contained in prostar directory. All other function are perfect without problems. Any suggestion?

EDIT: sorry I forget some essential info: i'm using windows XP and this is the error
syntax error in expression "4060/1000.": extra tokens at end of expression
on line 5016 in C:\PROGRA~1\CD-ADA~1\STAR-CD\4.06\PROSTAR\406~1.005\data\tcl\ampanels.tcl

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing the same problem that filippo.aero had (still having?). Furthermore, when I try to open ampanels.tc, which seems to be the responsible file of the error, I get a nice display full of exotic symbols, like:

rdzwýTÁšJÜàXý‰’'¬ð»8D kÿøO˜™Y(Œ�¹ƒb˜‡U6=ß9®Ó?m 0¯q„ž,�ä´¯Ä>Ž©Ûçšû€Ü³OËS;™P}Æ™èÌ®¢«ÇJxŽ(*´zšÝ Ôõ½ê„øJ£ñö“~áñ¡iv"½uÁóF°ŽX*gãè�+Jÿß²Œì§¡–Œ� �˜[ØBŠùqïX8ôô±$øß,eòàók8P

lots of code lines like this. Seems to be a bug, or an installation error. I don't know, but I cannot use auto-mesh tools at all...

Can someone please help me (us)?

thanks

R

Unless you have a good reason for using STAR-CD (are you planning on simulating internal combustion engines?) I'd recommend ditching and switching to STAR-CCM+.
