    Inactive DOF error

    Dear Drej Thank you very much for your help. Does this mean I can't do any cantilevered tests on a structure with a tet mesh? Zhirayr

    Inactive DOF error

    Please can you help I want carry out a test similar to cantilever bending, where I constraint all dofs on one end of the structure and induce a load on the other end. The structure is meshed using modified tet elements. When I run an analysis after a very long time I get an error saying that...

    Tetrahedral meshing algorithm failed

    Thank you very much for you help. I did in fact mesh the regions separately and figured out the problem. Yours Zhirayr

    Tetrahedral meshing algorithm failed

    Right that's most certainly correct. The part I'm importing is from Pro/Engineer 2002 (STP file) and is giving problems. I get a warning that the part has imprecise geometry (I have tried repairing but with no luck), and when I mesh a whole face is highlighted as the problem. I'm not sure what...

    Tetrahedral meshing algorithm failed

    Hi What on earth does this mean. The faces are all meshed (tet), then once abaqus contructs the tetrahedral elements it gives an error "tetrahedral meshing algorithm failed". Can someone please help. I have a very twisty object that needs meshing and nothing is working Zhirayr

    Importing a part from Pro/Engineer Wildfire

    After using the warp feature in Pro/Engineer Wildfire to bend and twist a straight circular tube, Im having great difficulty importing the part into abaqus. I try all the repair options but the program is unable to solve the problem and still states that there is invalid geometry. What can I do...
