Importing 2dm files

I am having problems to import a GMS .2dm file to FEFLOW. I keep getting the following error messages: “Execution of bash failed / (Invalid argument)” or “Execution of bash failed / (No such file or directory)”. I have installed the latest version of Cygwin but it didn't make any difference.

Does anyone have any ideas about what is the problem or how to fix this?

Thanks,

Marcelo

The reason for the error is that the FEFLOW import filter cannot execute bash.exe, which is needed for running this awk script filter.
I would recommend the following solution: Add the path of the Cygwin installation to the PATH environment variable of Windows. The path of the Cygwin binaries is usually something like C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin.

Alternatively you could change the content of the *.flt file of the 2dm input filter in the 'filter' directory of the FEFLOW installation, replacing 'bash.exe' by the full path of the bash.exe executable in the bin directory of the Cygwin installation.

Hope that helps!

It worked fine! Thanks a lot, Peter!

If I try to import a 2dm - file, I get the error:

Execution of "bash" failed (No Error)

I proved already the path of the bash.exe and it is correct.

Any help  :-\ ?? Thanks.

I think I found the solution in the awk  - File.

My PC can't interpret the HOME and FILE - Parameter in the awk - File.
So if I use a DOS - Workaround, the Filter works fine and reliable.
