fatal error in spooles.c

cubayang

Hi,

During my FSI simulation using Calculix, at certain time step, an error message prompted out as follows:

"fatal error in spooles.c
unable to open file spooles.out"

Does anyone know the reason for this?

Thanks in advance,
Yang

Hello Yang

That error message looks like it comes from this c code:

	if ((msgFile = fopen("spooles.out", "a")) == NULL) {
		fprintf(stderr, "\n fatal error in spooles.c"
			"\n unable to open file spooles.out\n");
	}

so it suggests some general file opening problem. Have you checked that the working directory exists, the application has write permission, the disk isn't full, the file isn't open in another application (perhaps another instance of CCX still running?), etc.?
