"Failed to Export model" solidworks livelink error

Whenever I try to livelink with a solidworks assembly I get the error:

"Failed to export model from solidworks"

I am using Comsol 4.0a and solidworks 2009 SP3.0.

Any ideas what would be causing this problem?

Alex

Re: "Failed to Export model" solidworks livelink error

Hi

it could be an incompatibility with the versions, it's becoming increasingly difficult these days to keep all interrelated software tools at a coherent version level. With COMSOL I must balance matlab and SolidWorks versions, but matlab I must also balance with several other tools, and Solidworks with our CAM not to say with our clients versions too. It's becomning a nightmare !!

What if we cooled down the fight for the absolute latest feature ?

version 3.5 works with SW 2009?!
version 4.0 works with SW 2010?!

or something of the sort?

Hi

good remark, worth to ask "support" I believe. There are quite some info in the knowledge base KB of COMSOL, try a search with "matlab" as keyword, but I do not know of a summary table of certified compatibility per version.

Have a check in the release notes too, but do not forget the patches and the respective release notes ;)

Hi Christian,

For COMSOL 4.2 you'll find this information here (for windows):

thanks.

"LiveLink for SolidWorks® is compatible with SolidWorks 2010, 2011, and 2012 (requires COMSOL 4.2a Update 1)."

now i know why it doesnt work with my SolidWorks 2009.
