Hello all,

I have had the Solidworks associative interface working with Abaqus before, however, for the later version of Solidworks 2011, when I follow the installation instructions from:

ftp://ftp.simulia.com/CDimages/SAI/SolidWorksToAbaqus_AI.pdf

When I open the .dll file (x64) in Solidworks 2011 Premium which I have stored on the C:\\ drive, I get the following error message:

"Unable to initialize the Add-In component", I have tried this on two computers and get the same error message on both.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
