Hi,

RAM 16MB

No other clues. First try I just clicked stage two didn't touch anything. I didn't methodically go thru settings but I did try changing the gear type and face. Simulation worked.

When I click to go to stage 2 the screen refreshes, then there is a pause and the program exists with no error message.

This is a new install, on a windows 11 as my last machine died so went to a mini pc.

Hi Andy:

   If you select your first section, youll see the setting for "flats" is smaller than the shaft diam.
The "flats" is the size of the wrench for that nut, slide the flats larger till the nut is large enough.
That will fix it.

Thx
Art



oops I missed that. Worked perfectly ...

I was trying out the complex shafts to create a joined left/right thread with a nut. The shaft generates but the nut seems to have a problem.

I have attached the files. Am I missing a setting?

Thanks,

Andy

Happy to report I can not break it.  ;D


Thanks,

Andy

Export models as stl
Then I have successful STLs that are printable.
The OBJ files still reports errors (as before) in meshlab

Hi Art,

Ok, I decided to test the msi installer on another older slower laptop. It appears to be working on that computer. So, my issue/concern/question now is what piece of software/library/SDK/etc is out of date or incorrect that maybe causing the issue.

So, if you have any suggestions or hints ...

Hi ARt,

Different results this time there are verticies on the OBJs but no faces. The STL still have 1 or 2 vertices with no faces.

I have attached the results; it if helps.

Meshlab error
