GiD forum

Hallo,

I'm trying to use the Kratos Problem type (Kratos_win_4.4.11043_64-bit) in GiD vs. 12. I downloaded this specific problem-type from your homepage. After loading this problem type you can choose an application type and an analysis type. But after pressing the button 'Next' it always occur the error: "This type of problem doesn't exist. Enter new problem type name".
What can I do?

Best regards
Peter

Hi Peter,

Probably, you are getting this message due to an installation failure of the problem type. I want you to check the problem type directory (Inside the GiD installation folder). There should be a "kratos.gid" folder. Inside it, the you should find the following:
-DEM
-images
-Kratos
-scripts
-Other files and folders
Inside the kratos folder, another kratos.gid with at least 22 elements on it.

If any of the directories is not as I described, I suggest to reinstall the problemtype by doing the following.
-Erase the current kratos.gid directory from the problemtype dir.
-On GiD, go to Data -> problem type -> Internet retrieve, and select Kratos -> Retrieve from internet.

This should reinstall kratos completely.

If this does not solve your problem, we'll try to solve it again.

Thank you very much, now everthing works well. There was missing one folder inside the kratos.gid-folder. I don't know why, but now everthing works. So thanks.

Best regards
Peter
