Elfini Solver Log

This task shows you how to generate an ELFINI solver listing file which is equivalent to generate a report on computed solutions. The Elfini listing file contains all the computation data of all the documents you computed in a CATIA session.

When you compute a document, interactive warning messages may appear (for example: if equilibrium is not reached, a warning message informs you that the residual forces are not negligible). The Elfini listing file also contains the warning messages generated by the ELFINI solver.

• When restarting a CATIA session, a new ELFINI listing file is generated.

• The name of this listing is: ElfiniSolverLog_U_M_dD_hHmM_UUID.txt
  where:

  • U is the user login.
  • M is the name of the machine.
  • D is the date of the listing creation.
  • H is the hour.
  • M is the minute.
  • UUID is Universally Unique IDentifier which ensures the unicity of the file name.
