P file does not exist

[mohany]

Hello,
I have a question regarding to my subject, it is quite annoying. Previously, while I run a file for example (Icir), it works great. However, I am not sure what happened, when I try to run this on my local feap, it shows me the Pcir file does not exist. I didn't change anything of the Icir file.

Thanks

P files are normally output by FEAP during runs.  They normally do not exist before the computation and then only if the computation creates plot files for saving or time history files.

Thus it is fine if they do not exist when you start your computation.  FEAP will create them if needed/requested.

Are you seeing some kind of error from FEAP?  If so, please send more details, maybe a screen shot.
