SOLIDWORKS PDM Failed to create temporary file for SOLIDWORKS Simulation

If your SOLIDWORKS Simulation results folder is associated with PDM, you may receive the error message ‘Failed to create temporary file‘. This can happen when PDM attempts to create a preview of the Simulation results. This will typically occur when you try to create a new mesh, or show a result plot.

To avoid this error, you can add Simulation .cwr file to the Exclusion list located from the Display pull-down, of the PDM local vault view.

Alternatively, you can check-out the relevant .cwr file.
