Problem in opening OMNIS5.2 Student Version : Open GL older version

Hello ASGer,

Looking at your issue indeed it seems OpenGL version is right.

What you could try doing is at the root of the installation of omnis5.2 there is a opengl32.dll file present. Could you try to copy it under the bin directory. (omnis5.2/bin)

Then try to run the software and let me know how it goes for you.

Regards

Judy

No difference, its showing the same error as before

Hi Judy
Now atleast the GUI opens up, what is missing is now the license , its showing me an error about license, asking for activation key , not sure which one is it ?

Thanks

Hi ASGer,

You need a license file? In the instruction email with the subject line "Your access to Cadence CFD software" you find the information how to get the hostid and hostname. Send that information in reply to the email. Then we'll be able to send you the license and the instructions how to use it to start the license server on your computer.

Kind regards,
Colinda

Hi Judy,

I only can find the omnisClient.bat but without the -noOpenGLCheck. Have you and advices for me where to find this one.

Tanks

Hello Maxi,

Not sure I understand right. -noOpenGLCheck is a flag command to run the Omnis software when there is issue with OpenGL version.

If you are able to run and get the gui without the flag then it is well good. We do not usually advice to use the flag unless there is a OpenGl issue. Please follow the steps if GUI shows OpenGl version error. 

1. Open Command prompt.

2. Go to the installation folder of omnis5.2

3. run the following omnisClient.bat -noOpenGLCheck

4. This will avoid looking for OpenGL and the GUI should be open.

Do let me know if you still have issue.

Thanks 

Judy

There is an issue with the OpenGL version. But I got the Problem, that I still don't know how to go to the omnis folder when running the Command prompt.

Hi Maxi,

 In the command prompt go to the location  of your omnis5.2 installation and just run the command mentioned. I did a local installation on myside for you to refer to. The location of your installation will be different. 

You can also go to the location of your installation from File explorer and on the location bar on top type " cmd " to open the command prompt form that location and then run the mentioned command.

Thanks & Regards

Hello, Judy

Even I had trouble in opening the GUI and I followed the above mentioned step to open the GUI, but if I try to open it in normal way .vbs file is opening. Could you please help me with this.

Hello Anuhya,

Just to be sure, when you click on the omnis5.2 icon on the desktop the gui does not start instead the Notepad++ opens?

Few things we could try:

1. Please try to double click on the omnis5.2 icon on desktop or double click on omnis.vbs file in the installation folder. (do not open in Notepad++)

2. In windows, Click the Start button, and then search for Run and click Run. Enter the path for the omnis.vbs file 

Ex: "C:\Users\XX\AppData\Local\NUMECA Software\OMNIS 5.2\omnis.vbs" (For you the location might be different based on your installation)

Click on OK to see if the gui tries to start. 

Did you try to open the application as per the suggestion mentioned in above using command prompt omnisClient.bat -noOpenGLCheck 

Let me know how it goes. 

Thanks & Regards

Judy

Hello Judy,

Yes when I try to open Omnis5.2 icon through desktop a notepad++ file opens.

I tried the command omnisClient.bat -noOpenGLCheck in command prompt and I could open the application.

As you suggested I tried to open the omnis.vbs file by double clicking but again the Notepad++ is opening. I tried to change the name after that it is asking select app to open the .vbs file. 

I even tried the second option i.e. to open it through run but it's giving this error

Because of this issue I haven't closed application which I opened using the command prompt.

Please let me know how to solve this problem, so that I can continue working on the exercises and software.

With regards,

Anuhya

Hello Anuhya,

This is mostly a configuration difference on your side. 

Please check with the "Open With" Option.

1. Right Click on the script file.
2. Click on 'Properties'
3. In General tab, If 'Open With' options shows 'Notepad' then please change it to "Microsoft Windows Based Script Host"
4. And now you can see your txt file working as a vbs file.

Make sure that it shows "Microsoft Windows Based Script Host" and not Notepad++.

 Thanks & Regards
