MoCAP GM Foot model - closes when I attempt to load

Hello,

Bit of a strange one.
I’ve been trying to run the MoCAP GM foot model, and it opens the file ok, but when I attempt to load it, it shuts down AnyBody completely.
I’m running AnyBody 6.0, with the AMMR v 1.6.3

Earlier, it would load but I had the Python error, and so I’ve just updated my Python to 2.7.11 (as it was only 2.1), so I am sure this is contributing to the problem, but don’t know how to solve it?

Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
Claire

I just checked and accidently the 32-bit version was installed, so have updated to 64 bit - but it still has the same issue - closing when I attempt to load.

Hi Claire,

I have double checked the model and it works for me :wink:

I have Python 2.7.11 |Anaconda 2.4.1 (64-bit) installed, please start a command prompt and write python and check it writes the same, notice 64 bit

I was using AnyBody version : 6. 0. 5. 4379 (64-bit version) and the associated model that I extrated from the Demo tab. Please open the about box and check you have the same.

If you have both AMS and python to be the same please write exactly what t says before it shuts down… we need to know how far the loading process progressed…

Best regards

Hello,
Thanks for your help.
I’m running:
AnyBody version : 6. 0. 5. 4379 (64-bit version)

Command prompt for Python:

Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:40:30) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

It gets as far as Linking Identifiers… Evaluating Constraints…
before closing

Thank you!
Claire

Hi Claire,

It looks like the python version you have is 32 bit, please install 64 bit, this could be the problem

Once you have done this, please check in an command promt it will be this version it starts by default.

It is the 64-bit version, despite what it says.
I’ve checked with a colleague who uses Python far more than me, and she has the same version & has had to change external coupling libraries to run 64-bit - she believes the prompt output is a print error.
Certainly it’s the only 64-bit version available to download from Python.org for 2.7.11

I don’t suppose you’ve any other suggestions? Should I try Anaconda instead? Is there something else I can check?

Thanks!

Hi Claire,

I think it is the 32bit issue,

Please try to install the 64 bit Anaconda python that i have and make sure you get the same response as i had when writing in the command prompt, i think this will solve the problem.

Best regards

Success! Thank you very much.
Seems you’re quite right - worth noting for other users that the 64-bit version to download on the Python website is clearly not the same as the Anaconda version.

Thanks
Claire

Hi Claire,

sounds good, thanks for the update, i have updated the wiki to include a small section on this.

Best regards
