Export_failure_message
long string of text attempts to identify the library, too long to type so including a screen shot.
 
Looking for suggestions for what might be the matter here.

    Hi TJ,
     
    Are you able to provide a database which produces this problem? We will have to investigate it. My intial investigations did not reveal anything. If you don't like to post the database here, you can send it to mscapex.support@mscsoftware.com.
     
    Thanks,
    Sanjay.

    Hi TJ,
    This seems like a PATH issue
    1) Can you export bdf out of a simple model?
    2) Were you able to export bdf before you installed Jaguar?
    3) Did you have any other recent updates besides Jaguar on your system?

    Here are my answers:
    1) Can you export bdf out of a simple model? No. I tried a model that worked in IL and it failed.
    2) Were you able to export bdf before you installed Jaguar? Yes, see 1)
    3) Did you have any other recent updates besides Jaguar on your system? Probably. Here is my installation history…
    
    installation_history
    If this is a path issue is there a quick fix? My PC is WIN7 Pro 64bit SP1. My colleague who has Jaguar installed on WIN10 does not have this issue.

    Mahmud,
    I tried the export with a trivially simple model that works in APEX IL (1 part - small mesh and some RBE's) and it fails, so the issue is probably not model-related.
     
    this is my path currently :

    there was also a PATH BACKUP variable:
     
    this was my PATH BACKUP value : C:\MSC.Software\Patran_x64\20180\bin;%INTEL_DEV_REDIST%redist\ia32_win\mpirt;%INTEL_DEV_REDIST%redist\ia32_win\compiler;%INTEL_DEV_REDIST%redist\intel64_win\mpirt;%INTEL_DEV_REDIST%redist\intel64_win\compiler;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\MSC.Software\Patran_x64\20170\bin;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files\Microsoft HPC Pack 2012\Bin\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft MPI\Bin\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files (x86)\RSA Security\RSA SecurID Software Token\;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Compute Cluster Pack\Bin\;C:\MSC.Software\Marc\2014.1.0\marc2014.1\tools;C:\MSC.Software\Marc\2014.1.0\marc2014.1\bin\win64;%systemroot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;%systemroot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Python27;C:\Program Files\MSC.Software\Adams\2018_1\bin;C:\Program Files\MSC.Software\Adams\2019_beta\bin;C:\Program Files\MSC.Software\MSC CoSim\1.6;C:\Program Files\MSC.Software\MSC CoSim\1.6\cosim_redist
