Now I have encountered this problem, may I ask why and how to solve it? Looking forward to your reply

I can’t say for sure, but the error happened when mfix was trying to copy an STL file into the project directory. I wonder if the disk filled up, or if there is some other kind of system problem unrelated to MFiX.

The ZIP file you uploaded is corrupt - it is literally a megabyte of binary 0s - which also points to some kind of system problem.

The disk is not full, but I do not know what causes the current result, how can I check the cause.
And the error report cannot be saved, and the software will automatically exit

Is the E: drive a network share? Is there some problem accessing it?

cgw · September 10, 2023, 4:23pm

Will MFiX run if you use C: instead of E:?

Did you ever get this fixed? I am having the same issue.

cgw · April 16, 2024, 6:26pm

Hi Molly, welcome to the MFiX forum. Please go to the main menu, select “Submit bug report” and upload the resulting ZIP file here. Thanks.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. managed to fix this by downloading the updated version of mfix opening this, then opening the original version. Which has worked not sure why? I assume the new version downloaded something which replaced a corrupted file.
