No slave window

[vigneshrl]

I am new to Calculix, but I have previously used Abaqus. I read the Calculix documentation, and it stated that it supports Abaqus.inp files. But when I run my.inp file, I get this error. Please assist if you have encountered this problem before. Thank you.

ERROR: New slave window starts too slowly.
ERROR: Can not get slave wid.

Hi. Yep, this problem is my :) I mean it's being produced by the CAE.
The problem occurs when CGX starts too slowly and CAE can not catch it's window's ID. So you wont be able to send commands from CAE to CGX window. This can not be fixed, sorry. The only workaround is to use smaller models or more powerful PC.
The problem could be resolved if CGX would support socket server connections.
