NEi/Nastran, warning 'T2004'

[AndyLake]

If I make a model by Femap and use parabolic elements, NEi/Nastran gives me a warning 'T2004' and it is caused by quad8-elements. If I use the same model and make an analyze by MSC/Nastran -> No problem.

How this is possible?

Because they are completely different codes. What exactly is the warning message for T2004? I also suggest that you call Noran tech support; they are very helpful.

I have their V9 beta and the CQUAD8/CTRIA6 are supported there so I would suggest contacting noran support about the issue. I know for sure parabolic solids are supported.

Sorry, the warning was caused by CQUAD8-elements, NOT QUAD8-elements.

In total, the warning is:
"Warning T2004: Unrecognized bulk data entry
CQUAD8 451 4 553 476 459 549 502 2954+EL CJ"

I will take contact to Noran. Thanks.

Are you trying to get strain data, and haven't converted the strain to stress? Try running stress results, and that unrecognized bulk data entry may disappear.

I don’t have to get strain data. Analysis type is ‘Static’ (not ‘Nonlinear’). I’m not sure I understood right your question…
