Hello Everyone. I have been trying to evaluate a simple job but to my dismay I receive the following error message:


Normal cannot be computed in 2 elements. The nodal coordinates may be incorrect or the element aspect ratio may exceed 1000 to 1. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemNormal.

Error in defining normal to the element surface at a node in 2 elements. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemShellNormal.


I know these errors call into question the accuracy of my mesh. I just need to get the simulation going and produce some results. Normally I do not have any problems with meshing. How do I fix this problem? Really could use some help. thanks.
