Homard is unknown

Mishael

I tried to run the crack growth simulation of a semi-elliptical crack in 3D. The case SSLV318d (v3.04.319) given in the verification manual. I used exactly the same mesh and command files given in test folder of Code Aster installation.
The mesh is supposed to be refined before the crack growth using the HOMARD software. Unfortunately, during the simulation, Code Aster failed to detect HOMARD software and failing to perform the mesh refining. Can someone tell me what would be the solution? I am using Salome Meca platform (2023 w64) and Code Aster (2023 msi) in Windows. I installed the latest version of both of them. I am attaching herewith the message file.

[unknown] Thank you very much for the reply. I didn't know about the limitations in Windows platform for the free version.

Once again thank you very much.
I am thinking to do a partition and install Linux for the time being. However, I am also planning to get a premium version for Windows once I stop paying for the commercial FEA software license that I was using earlier.
