NUDiS load

[PyroJoe]

After 3 attempts in the past to load NUDiS and being unsuccessful, will attempt another walk-through.

----First step is to load and extract the files from the sticky.
There is a choice, do we load the first version, as shown on page 1,
or the second on page 2.

Intuition would be to load the most recent version on page 2, but the first version has previous constructed engine models that may be useful.

So a simple solution would be to load the original version and replace the pertinent version 1 files with the version 2.

the final directory looks something like this:

Zip file of directory:

Not bad, relatively painless to the average bear.
instructions:

Step: 2.OPEN NUDiS Construction Book R01c.xls and Load a File

No worries, Excel is on this machine, so double click "NUDiS Construction Book R02c"

Opens with a windows message saying "Macros are disabled because the security level is set to High and a digitally signed Trusted Certificate is not attached to the macros. To run the macros, change the security level to a lower setting (not recommended), or request the macros be signed by the author using a Certificate Authority."

[PyroJoe]

Not entirely unexpected, as we see the next line in our instruction set conveys:

"Macros must be switched on"

Skip to the part where you fix the "1004" error message you get when trying to run Nudis

No realy, any clues?

[PyroJoe]

So, where do we go to fiddle with macro security settings?
The windows message displays:

You may encounter this error for the following reasons:

Macro security is set to:
--Very High and the application encounters a signed macro, but the macro was automatically disabled. Use the following procedure to enable the macro:

1. Select the Tools menu option and then select Macro and Security. In the resulting Security dialog, set the security level to High by clicking the High radio button.

2. Close the file and any other instances of the application currently running on the computer (close all applications that also use the application you are currently running).

3. Open the file again and examine the certificate of trust details and set the Always trust macros from this publisher box if you trust the certificate issued by the publisher.

4. Click the Enable button to allow the macro to run.

--High and the application encounters a signed macro, but you selected Disable when prompted by the macro warning dialog when opening the file. Use the following procedure to enable the macro:

1. Close the file and any other instances of the application currently running on the computer (close all applications that also use the application you are currently running).

2. Open the file again and examine the certificate of trust details and set the Always trust macros from this publisher box if you trust the certificate issued by the publisher.

3. Click the Enable button to allow the macro to run.

--High or Very High and the macro was not signed and was automatically disabled by the application. Use the following procedure to enable the macro, if you have verified you can trust the source of the unsigned macro:

1. Select the Tools menu option and then select Macro and Security. In the resulting Security dialog, set the security level to Medium by clicking the Medium radio button.
2. Close the file and any other instances of the application currently running on the computer.
3. Open the file again and click the Enable button when prompted to allow for the unsigned macro to run.

When you have accepted the macro, return the macro security level to its previous setting.

---Another instance of your application has a lock on the security settings and is disallowing any changes to security settings.

--It is recommended to close all Office related applications or other instances of the same application when you attempt to make changes to your security settings.
---Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed on your computer.
--If VBA is not installed, it is not possible to accept certificates of trust attached to VBA macros. Therefore, any VBA macro attempting to run, even with an attached certificate of trust, cannot be run because the necessary macro interpreter is not installed on the system. Two scenarios can cause this error:
--Your administrator chose not to install VBA
--The version of Office you are running does not install VBA by default
--If you are running an instance of Office that does not provide VBA as an installable feature, you will need to upgrade your version of Office to run VBA macros.

---The certificate of trust is invalid - (when this occurs, you cannot select the Enable button).
--The certificate is no longer trusted, was revoked by the issuing authority, or is damaged. There are several other possibilities which you may need to explore as to why the certificate is no longer recognized as valid by your system. It is recommended that you not trust or run a macro that has an invalid certificate.

First glance shows the need to run the gambit of 1-4 to engage the Enable button.

Ok, 1 and 2 were no problem........well, there was a problem...... my setting was already on HIGH so I didn't change anything, and nothing happens when the file is closed and re-opened.

I altered the setting to MEDIUM and closed and reopened, and there it is, a new message box with 3 buttons.
Disable Macros, Enable Macros, More Info.

Choosing the Enable Macros button.

Now it opens up, Whoo Hooo.
When I hit the load button I now see the engine models:

[PyroJoe]

......reading instructions.....

instructions say to load 'Type06_E_STD.Qsav

opened the Type06......
Yep, opened to the 'Constructs the pipe' tab,....see the numbers populating the columns and rows..

scaling to see rows 1-48 per instructions.....

that was odd, the little scaling arrows fiddle with the lines inside the jet geometry, I think this was meant was to use the VIEW menu to rescale the columns and rows to see more of the worksheet.

closing and reopening to reset the original scaling...

[PyroJoe]

This time went to the VIEW menu above (between Edit and Insert) and chose a magnification of 50%, can see all of it now, very cool.

Instructions say to Run NUDiS. Hitting the button......clicking no(per instructions)......then OK

NUDiS Analysis BooK R02c pops up as in excel...

....reading more instructions........

(BTW metiz, may have found the source of your 1004 error, if you look at the first picture in this thread you will notice no .dat files are there, I noticed that when I didn't hit NO as per the instructions the first time, there were .dat files created in this directory. If left there they will be in the way for the next run creating the 1004 error, i think, maybe worth a shot to delete them out and start a fresh run)

[PyroJoe]

One thing I noticed is the hour glass keeps running when the message box asks "Is NUDiS finished ? This Box Goes Dark Blue" never did see the entire Box go Dark Blue. Wonder how long that should take?

[PyroJoe]

Another thing that may be giving some problems, is the instructions specifically state not to save changes ot the Analysis workbook:

"When the combustion run has run its course (or after pressing Esc) close the Analysis workbook (and any other sheets). Do Not save any changes."

Will have to be careful not to do such a thing, and keep a backup copy, just in case.

Thanks for the heads up Joe but unfortunately no such luck: no .dat files, still error. I'm going to try on a different machine to see if I get the same error.
