I am trying to couple quads that have been created in SOFiPLUS. I have managed to do it in the past but cant get it to work anymore. The workflow is as follows:
Create calculation model from SOFiPLUS
Use SOFIMSHA to couple the quads with the following code:
+prog sofimsha urs:31.1
head Quad coupling
SYST REST
SPRI NO QREF NA 202 NE 1016 CP 1e9 CRAC 0
end
However I am receiving the following error:
Could someone please help me debug the problem. I have also attached example files. I am currently using version 2025-3
Using QGRP instead of QREF works. I noticed that QGRP also works with secondary groups so at the moment that is the workaround that I am going to use. I don’t want do alter the previously defined primary groups that’s why I will be using the secondary groups option.
However, I have been able to use QREF previously also. @JFH could you help me in finding out why the QREF approach is not working
Please let us know if this has been noted and will be looked into. In many cases it is a lot easier to use QREF for coupling quads than to create secondary groups and use them instead
