Error! The selected files could not be read. An error with the web app has been detected.

Take a screenshot of the entire web browser window. Ensure all the text in the red box is visible.
Collect copies of the BDF/DAT files used.
Refer to the Technical Support section in the User's Guide.
Contact technical support and provide a screenshot from step 1 and the BDF files from step 2.

When to use this section?

Use this section when CFAST, CSEAM or CWELD entries are used. Uploading the PCH file will add the respective RBEs to the Model Display Panel.

Add this entry to the BDF file SWLDPRM PRTSW 100 CHKRUN 1
Run MSC Nastran and a PCH file is created
Upload the PCH file in this section
Navigate to the Model Display Panel and turn on Display Elements to view the respective RBEs for PFAST, PSEAM or PWELD

1. Select files

The selected files is too large. A max file total size of 10MB is allowed. Consider using a PCH file with a subset of RBE3 and GRID entries.

When to use this section?

A PBMSECT or PBRSECT exists in the BDF files.
A red icon is visible below for row Auto ABCS Display.

Instructions

Click Download Test BDF File
Fix any errors in the downloaded BDF file
Run MSC Nastran on the downloaded BDF file
Mark the checkbox for Manual ABCS Display
Upload the PostScript (.ps) and click Upload
Upload the Bulk Data Files (.bdf) for each cross section, which have a naming convention similar to model_name_bm_pbmsectid_01.bdf, and click Upload
Click Parse. If Complete appears, the beam cross section has been successfully provided for PBRSECT or PBMSECT entries.
Navigate to the Model Display Panel and select Display Detail to show the new cross sections

Method	Status	Display	Comments
Auto ABCS Display			After the BDF files are uploaded and in the background, MSC Nastran will automatically be executed and the necessary PS and BDF files will be acquired. The cross section will then be displayed. This requires MSC Nastran to be installed and configured on the same machine as the SOL 200 Web App, i.e. the machine that is running `node app.min.js`.
Manual ABCS Display			MSC Nastran must be manually executed separately to produce the PS and BDF files. Then, the PS and BDF files are manually uploaded to this section. Remember to click Parse to display the cross sections.

Procedures to correct issues

If the issue is "File was moved," then restore the files to their original location and try to download again.
If the issue is "File was edited by a separate application," to avoid file corruption on download, it is best to restart at the beginning, i.e. reupload the BDF files.

Reminder! Upload the new BDF files to the Optimization web app to and do the following.

Update the objective and constraints
