Hallo guys,

I am not newbie in NASTRAN environment, but I don't seem to crack what on earth is wrong with my model (Model Attached).
I ran a FREE-FREE check on my structure and requested for all the 'SETS', to my surprise, the model fails the 4, 5 and 6 directions while the eigenfrequencies show that the structure is fully a rigid one. Can somebody with more experience help me crack it please!. I will really be grateful for your effort. Thanks in advance.

Not only did I delete the manually added text for AUTOSPC he/she had, but I also unchecked AUTOSPC option in the analysis settings.

That means PARAM, AUTOSPC, NO is printed in the deck (that is what I meant my removed) but you had no way of knowing that, so you get the benefit of the doubt.

I do not like AUTOSPC myself. I'd rather turn it off, see the fatal, and then diagnose using a normal modes analysis to find my mechanisms.

@ nlgyro : Thank you very much, that was some great observation and it was great to have learned something from all this. I thank all of you who have contributed to this question.
@ stressebookllc, Thanks buddy for making it clear. You are right, I had no means of knowing that you had removed it. I thank you for your contribution.
