Alexis,
I can duplicate the error; do you see a message similar to this when you first start Allegro?:
E- *Error* loadContext: could not open file - "C:/Program Files/Ansoft/integrate4/anslinks163.cxt"
The named file definitely exists on my PC but I don’t think Allegro likes spaces in file names, so you may have to install Ansoftlinks in a different folder.

What version of Ansoftlinks do you have? I believe that 4.2 is the earliest version that works with Allegro; from the 4.2 “bugfix” list:
12) Numerous bug fixes and third party translation issues have been addressed:

ANSft00079291 Error when writing ANF file from Allegro.

Thank you - now that I have AnsoftLinks loaded on my system, I can see the pull-down menu, but when I try to "Write Ansoft Neutral File V2", I get this:
ERROR
E- *Error* eval: undefined function - writeNeutralFile
Any idea of what I'm missing? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Alexis,
You will need Ansoftlinks software in order to do this. This is a cost option and once installed, there's a plug inside Allegro to allow you to output ANF file.

One of our engineers has asked if I can extract a .anf from Allegro (to run simulations using Ansoft HFSS). I have Allegro XL 16.2 on my system, and he has Ansoft HFSS on his system. Is there a way for me to extract the file and send it to him, or does he need to extract it from Allegro using HFSS? Any info would be greatly appreciated - thanks.
