Ecotect and WinAir

I have a proble when I export Ecotect model in WinAir, even if I setted the date at 2006, following the steps in this tutorial:

http://wewanttolearn.wordpress.com/2011/10/12/computational-fluid-d...

When WinAir runs automatically appears this message that I also loaded in the Attach Files: "Problem in initialisation".

I also tried to load the files .con e .geo directly from WinAir, but the program doesn't calculate anything.

Can someone help me?

Francesco e Giulia, check this out:

per favore, postate nel gruppo dedicato di a3 (ho trovato per caso questa discussione), così riesco a vedere subito di che si tratta. Se si tratta di un plug-in specifico, postate almeno nel gruppo dedicato al plug-in e non in un post generico, in questo modo avete maggiori possibilità che qualcuno risponda in modo più mirato e più velocemente.

BOLEHLAH's message from 04-25-2011 fixed this for me. Basically, instead of running the program out of Ecotect, run it manually - you still have to export out of Ecotect, but make sure "Run WinAir Application" and "Auto-Start Calculation" are UNchecked. Once you've exported the data, open winAIR4 manually, load the geometry and control files that you exported, set your iterations and intervals, and click run.
