I can't save a file nor a project

Post by activ25 »

Hi,

I can't save a file with ElmerGUI, the type of file is directory and it is not possible to change it. Someone knows where comes from the problem ?
And like I'm forced to save before to run, I can't run.

Regards

Hi

ElmerGUI saves a project consisting of several files to a directory.

Haven't heard of this problem before. Are you sure you have write access to the directory that you try to write in?

Yes, I tried several directories. Even if I launch in root I can't.

Hi,

what happens if you click "choose"?
ElmerGUI needs a directory to save the project data. You cannot give a file name since you don't need it.

Hi,

It proposes only a directory, I can't choose anything else.

Yes, that is on purpose. It only _needs_ a directory which will be the project directory where all the project files (mesh, sif, output) will be stored. So just click on "choose" and it should be OK.

Normally this is an ordinary file selector dialog where you can navigate in your directory tree and also make a new directory. I think ElmerGUI uses the file selector provided by the OS.
