    Hi! I'm carrying out a buckling analysis and require to verify the buckling force by hand, to do this I (assume...) I'll need to find the force transmitted to a particular member (my geometry is a car chassis). I've been able to list the forces in a particular direction at every node, if I...

    "Small equation pivot term" error causes analysis to fail

    I've created and applied constraints/loads to a fairly simple car chassis in APDL (created using keypoints/lines and defining a hollow rectangular cross section). The analysis works until I add the final 10ish members to the chassis and then the problem wont solve. Instead I receive the "There...
