FEA RELATED ISSUE

[PJRatFCCC]

After applying the appropriate meshes, constraints, and load value (regions)to a simple assembly, when I tried to solve I noticed that the "force(1)" shows as inactive. Consequently, I receive the error "No Solution Steps Defined". I've tried to edit the load input, recreate it, and a myriad of other attempts to resolve. How can I get the load to show as "ACTIVE"? I believe this is what is causing my solution to fail. NOTE: I am using NASRAN SOL 101 "linear"

Check if force(1) actually is applied in the solver:
Expand the solver tree, default name is "Solution 1".
Expand the subcase tree, default name is "Subcase - Static Loads 1".
Check if force(1) is in "Loads".
If it's not, click and drag force(1) in there. Or right click on force(1) then click "Add to active solution or step", make sure that the correct solver is active.

If it is I'm out of ideas. With different solvers than sol 101 that particular load type may not be supported, but this should not be an issue with sol 101.

That was the problem... I didn't have a subcase load applied. Thanks!
