Compatibility Issues
Mechanica Wildfire 2.0 is not compatible with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, or lower. To run Mechanica Wildfire 2.0, upgrade to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0.

Mechanica Wildfire 2.0 supports Pro/INTRALINK, version 3.3.

Mechanica Wildfire 2.0 supports Unigraphics NX 2.0.

Mechanica Wildfire 2.0 supports CATIA 4.2.4 release 2.

Mechanica's FEM mode no longer supports the Mold product.

Functionality Limitations
In assemblies where the points, edges, or surfaces of individual parts overlap to form the assembly, Structure and Thermal do not support beams, shells, and springs placed on the overlapping geometry. This limitation is specific to native mode and does not occur in FEM mode.

The Mechanica Motion Help for Integrated mode is available at <proe_load_point>/html/usascii/proe/motion/start.htm in your Pro/ENGINEER installation. You can use the browsers Mozilla 1.4 or IE 6.0 SP1 and later browsers to view the Motion Integrated Help.

Platform-Specific Limitations
The following discussion covers limitations specific to a given platform or specific to localized versions of the product, and includes:

Mechanica Wildfire 2.0 Installation Issues

HP

Mechanica Wildfire Installation Issues
Do not install Mechanica Wildfire 2.0 over an existing Wildfire installation.

The showlic utility may not show the following Wildfire 2.0 licenses: Fatigue UI, Fatigue Engine, and Independent Mechanica UI. However, the licenses may still be available when using the product.

HP
For the HP-UX operating system, the maxdsize parameter fixes a ceiling on the amount of swap space any single process can utilize. If this parameter is set too low, the Structure engine may terminate when solving large models due to insufficient swap space. In this case, the system displays the error message "An engine database error has occurred. Please check available disk and swap space."

If the available swap space appears more than adequate, the maxdsize parameter may be limiting the amount of the available swap space that Mechanica can utilize. You can use the HP-UX utility sam to check the current value of this parameter. You need to reconfigure the HP-UX kernel to change the value for this parameter to a minimum value of 500 MB.
