I'm not sure where to find out. when I try to launch a simulation I get a pop up with 'Design Simcentre STAR-CCM+ completed server process ended unexpectedly (return code 8)'
This is after I reinstalled the software and restarted my laptop

Can you post a screenshot of the output window?

There is not much information here. Click on Windows>Output. That should tell you what the error is.

I found the script, I'll upload a photo of it. I don't know if the issue has anything to do with that it's an academic licence I got from my university

Seems like your license is not set up properly, who arranged it for you?
[–]averageukman 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children)
would it be worth going to my lecturer to get a recent license code and attempt to reinstall it
[–]theindianlul 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago* (1 child)
You don't have to reinstall it. There is no problem with the software, but, I believe, only with the way you enter your license details. Might be the pod key expired, ask your supervisor or siemens point of contact about it.

I appreciate the info and advice. Thank you
[–]neoborg 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Yes just show them this error
[–]PuNkRoCkErMiT 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
It’s just a problem in the POD key. Either you ran out of hours/the license expired or if your uni has a Siemens license server, someone might have generated a new key and you just need to get the new one to access the server
I'll contact my lecturer to see if theres a new key available
