Dear user,
the installer provides automatic installation of .NET Framework 4.0. Does the installation run without issues?
Have you installed all the packages provided with the installer?

Some parts of NextFEM Designer work with .NET 2.0. Please follow these instructions on Windows 10:
a) Press “Windows Logo” + “R” keys on the keyboard.

b) Type “appwiz.cpl” in the “Run” command box and press “ENTER”.

c) In the “Programs and Features” window, click on the link “Turn Windows features on or off”.

d) Check if the “.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)” option is available in it.

e) If yes, then enable it and then click on “OK”.

f) Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation and restart the computer, if prompted.

Thanks for your interest in NextFEM Designer.

This is an error that can occur when you’re not connected to the internet for the first time you start the program. Also, the program checks for (critical) updates once a week.

Please delete the file C:\Users\YourUsername\NextFEMoptions.xml and start the program again as administrator. You must be connected to the Internet.

Have you tried the installer? Please use the newer version 0.65 and try to install it with the brand-new installer. This will install all the prerequisites for you. In some cases, the installer must me started as administrator.

Let me know if this solved the problem.

Thanks for your feedback.
Please try with the SlimDX End User Runtime, available at:
https://www.slimdx.org/download.php

In general, older versions of DirectX libraries always co-exist with the newer ones.
Please let me know if it finally works, and if you’re using 32 or 64 bit version to let us improve support.

[NextFEM Admin]

Hi,
please try to start it as administrator. Let me know if any error appears.
Be aware that you need DirectX 9, not 11.

[NextFEM Admin]

Thank you to have posted your issue with NextFEM Designer.
Since we are still in beta version, there can be some errors in code. Please specify exacly what kind of error you’re encountering and which messages do you get.
If you can, please attach the SAP2000 file in order to let us reproduce the error.

[NextFEM Admin]

Dear parhyang,
first of all, thank you for your interest in NextFEM Designer.

The screenshot you posted is not very explicative, it seems an error with the application start-up, please be sure the program is placed in a writable folder (“Desktop” or “My Documents”).

Designer needs only the .NET 4.0 Client Profile and a version of DirectX above 9.

To allow me to give you further assistance, I need the files listed in the screenshot (all in the Local\Temp folder). Are you running Windows Vista or 7? Any service pack installed?

EDIT: I verified that the error you get is due to the DirectX which has not been installed properly on your system. Please follow the link in the first post to install them.

[NextFEM Admin]

Please try with the updated 0.52 version.
If the problems persists, please load the file here and I’ll have a look.
The software is still in beta stage and there can be errors in importing Tcl scripts.
