Hi All,

I'll try to describe the problem:

AS simulator works fine in the beginning of the project, but somewhere along the way, it seems the simulator gets corrupted and it's no longer possible to start the AS (AS Simulator does start though).

To be clear the AS Simulator window starts fine, but the "Start AS" button does nothing, AS always reverts to offline.

Only hack I found so far, is to copy the existing CFC data onto a newly created controller (with the same settings), the AS simulation starts fine.

Happens on multiple projects and multiple PC's.

Does anybody know of a solution to this? Seems to me that some file gets corrupted along the way and is blocking the AS to start.

I am running the XWorks suite with local admin privileges.

Thanks in advance,

Mihael

Hello,

I would like to recommend to try this:

===============================

AS Simulator to check:

As you are saying must this be something locally on this PC, if you can start the AS Simulation with this Project on a different PC.

I would suggest you to delete the following file content.

Goto your Drive C: and write in %temp%

Then you end up in your personal temporary folder for this PC.

Navigate to Folder "DESIGO\LogFiles\XwpSimulation" and delete the whole content.

Then you should be able again to start AS SIM.

For your local problem on your PC - try to delete the Simualtion folder under this path(XwpSimulation): C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Temp\DESIGO

and also in this path (XwpASSimulation......):

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Siemens_Switzerland_Ltd\

After this you should be able to start XWP Simulation again without any leftover on your PC.

For your Customer, the program has to be cleaned up before you can use Simulation.

======================

Hi, try this. Rename this file extension to .bat , close XWP and start it on your pc.

Hope it helps.
