Hi
I can't proceed to analyse my model. The error says " The file 'diana.ff' is locked by another process (pid=6588). Select or generate another database." How can I eliminate this?
Thanks
Check out the unlock command. See: https://support.tnodiana.com/manuals/d944/Analys/node40.html
The filos file is generally unlocked when diana is finished with the calculation. Since the database is locked make sure there is no process like nl41.exe running that still uses the database. If this is not the case you first need to think why the database is still locked. This could be the result of a crash or a process/task that was killed by the user. In those cases the database is in an inconsistent state and not really usable.
Dear all forum members,
I am sorry I am not allowed to post a new topic, so I have to post here.
Infact, I am Diana new user. I met a problem needed your consulting. I need to model a beam name U1 by arbitrary shapes command with 4 section zones. However, I cannot do it successfully. The commands I used are presented below.
PROPERTY PHYSICAL U1 GEOMETRY BEAM CLASSIII ARBITRAR ZONE 250 -200 250 200 260 200 260 -200 ( for zone 1)
PROPERTY PHYSICAL U1 GEOMETRY BEAM CLASSIII ARBITRAR ZONE -260 -200 -260 200 -250 200 -250 -200 ( for zone 2)
PROPERTY PHYSICAL U1 GEOMETRY BEAM CLASSIII ARBITRAR ZONE -260 -210 -260 -200 260 -200 260 -210 ( for zone 3)
PROPERTY PHYSICAL U1 GEOMETRY BEAM CLASSIII ARBITRAR ZONE -260 200 -260 210 260 210 260 200 ( for zone 4)
I saw in input file ( *.dat) that I only successfully modeled zone 4, and the number of zone in input file is only 1 as shown in below.
I understood that the forth command has replaced all information in commands from 1 to 3. However I do not know how my command should be to model all 4 expected zones. Could you please help me to fix it. I really appreciate it and thank you in advance!
