"Illegal floating point operation"

[curlyq]

I've received this error a few times today, and can't really figure out what it is, what it means, and how to work around it. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Dear curlyq,
try tiping all your variables (or formula fields) with one decimal number (for example 1.0, 2.0). Best regards,

Sebastian

This is a software problem, you should contact Abaqus support.

I'll have to dig around on this one some more. So it's an ABAQUS problem and not mine? That's slightly reassuring. However, I only seem to get it when I am doing a 3D model, not when I am running either 2D or axisymmetric. I'll see about all of my variables and cross my fingers that it works.

You should send the troublesome model to Simulia anyway.

Are you using a User Subroutine?

 

[curlyq]

I am not using a user subroutine, but may have to for my material model - that will be a different question though.

Interestingly enough, I attempted to run the exact same model only in 2D instead of 3D, and everything worked. However, the 3D model is on a Unix server while the 2D is on a Windows machine. No word from Simulia.
