I am running Random Vibration on "Enterprise" version and get this:

*** ERROR ***                           CP =       0.203   TIME= 14:54:00
 The option of SPECTR on the ANTYPE command is either not available for  
 this version of Ansys or the appropriate product was not selected for   
 this session.                                                           
  Contact your Ansys support person for more information.

What does this mean? No license?

I reran the analysis this morning and there were no issues. I cannot explain why, nothing changed except the time at which I ran it.

I then added "Fatigue Tool" - both "Life" and "Damage". Updating produces this new error: "To proceed with Fatigue analysis, 'Calculate Velocity' and 'Calculate Acceleration' in Output Controls must be set to Yes."

I set these to "Yes" in Options>Analysis Settings and Solution but the error persists.

[Daniel Eichorn]

Discovered that Calculate Acceleration/Calculate Velocity are under Random Vibration Analysis Settings and don't seem related to the same function in Options... Analysis ran.

Initial issue happened again...

Thanks for adding this info, Daniel, in addition to the output that you have pasted, first line of the solver output (before legal notice) will indicate the license used to solve it:

 

What does it show?

Hi,

I ran into the same issue doing a very similar analysis. This error is due to the license in use not suporting the random vibration analysis, try switchting to a licensing level premium or enterprise. If you are using a student license it should have run, please check with support then.

You can check more about this on the ANTYPE command section on the Ansys Help
