Dynamic implicit analysis error

[VladCivil]

Dear all,
After I submit the job, I receive the following error message:


The executable standard.exe aborted with system error code 1073741795. Please check the .dat, .msg, and .sta files for error messages if the files exist. If there are no error messages and you cannot resolve the problem, please run the command "abaqus job=support information=support" to report and save your system information. Use the same command to run Abaqus that you used when the problem occurred. Please contact your local Abaqus support office and send them the input file, the file support.log which you just created, the executable name, and the error code.


The error occurs only with the dynamic implicit analysis when using shell or solid FEs. Dynamic implicit analysis is running well with wire FEs. Moreover, when I run the same model (with the shell or solid FEs), but with the Dynamic explicit analysis, there is no error.

Here is the tricky part:
The same model is working well (with no errors) with the Dynamic implicit analysis on 3 different machines I have tried out (2 laptops with intel i3 and i5 CPUs and 1 desktop with AMD Athlon CPU).

My configuration is:
MSI Tomahawk MAX B450 (BIOS updated to 3.5)
Ryzen 5 3600
AMD Radeon HD 6700 series
2 x 8GB RAM (DDR4 2666MHz)
Win 10 64-bit (version 1909)

I have tried to reinstall OS, use only one of the two RAM cards, change Abaqus working directory, rename cae file, generate different mesh size, use different number of working processors, but unfortunately none of it helped.

Does anyone of You have any idea what could cause this error?

 

[FEA way]

Some additional information will be necessary so let me ask you a few questions. Do you use any special features in the problematic analysis (like import, submodeling or subroutines) ? Are there any errors/warnings in .dat or .msg file ? Do you use parallel processing for this simulation ? Which version of Abaqus is that (and are all available fix packs installed) ?

Do you use any special features in the problematic analysis (like import, submodeling or subroutines)?
I am importing the part as the .sat file, generated in AutoCAD. Submodeling and subroutines i do not use.

Are there any errors/warnings in .dat or .msg file?
In .msg file there are these warnings:
AT LEAST ONE OF THE NODES OF CONNECTOR ELEMENT 1 (ASSEMBLY) DOES NOT HAVE ANY MASS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THIS COULD LEAD TO EQUATION SOLVER ISSUES (ZERO PIVOTS, NUMERICAL SINGULARITIES, etc.) AND HENCE TO INCORRECT SOLUTIONS WHEN THE CONNECTOR ELEMENT IS ENFORCING KINEMATIC CONSTRAINTS (FROM EITHER INTRINSIC, CONNECTOR STOP/LOCK, or CONNECTOR MOTION). PLEASE ATTACH THE CONNECTOR NODES TO ELEMENTS FOR WHICH MASS IS DEFINED (SUCH AS ELEMENTS TYPE MASS WITH A SMALL MASS) TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.
AT LEAST ONE OF THE NODES OF CONNECTOR ELEMENT 1 (ASSEMBLY) DOES NOT HAVE ANY ROTARY INERTIA ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THIS COULD LEAD TO EQUATION SOLVER ISSUES (ZERO PIVOTS, NUMERICAL SINGULARITIES, etc.) AND HENCE TO INCORRECT SOLUTIONS WHEN THE CONNECTOR ELEMENT IS ENFORCING KINEMATIC CONSTRAINTS (FROM EITHER INTRINSIC, CONNECTOR STOP/LOCK, or CONNECTOR MOTION). PLEASE ATTACH THE CONNECTOR NODES TO ELEMENTS FOR WHICH ROTARY INERTIA IS DEFINED (SUCH AS ELEMENTS TYPE ROTARYI) TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.
Also, there are 3 warnings:
3 elements are connector elements that are connected to ground. The elements are identified in element set WarnConToGround.
In most cases an integrated output surface has one connected set of elements below and one connected set of elements above. Here we find more connected sets on both sides of the surface itosur_assembly_surf-18
In most cases an integrated output surface has one connected set of elements below and one connected set of elements above. Here we find more connected sets on both sides of the surface itosur_assembly_surf-41

Do you use parallel processing for this simulation?
I am using multiple processors (11) with multiprocessing mode set to Threads, without GPGPU acceleration.

Which version of Abaqus is that (and are all available fix packs installed)?
It is Abaqus 6.16, with fix packs installed.


I must add that non of the above warnings or specifics have not pose such a problem on 3 other machines mentioned in my previous post, for Abaqus to stop running the analysis. On all other machines the analyses were completed (with the same settings). The exception is only the number of multiple processors, which was set for each machine individually, according to its number of threads. However, I have tried with different number of engaged threads, still, no effect.

1073741795 is a windows error code not an Abaqus error.

Your model is trying to do something that the operating system doesn't like.

There are many reasons why this could happen so it will be hard to diagnose here.

If you scroll down through this thread, there's a post by Luca Di Stasio with good suggestions.
