I am getting this warning and analysis is not seem to initiate -
"OVERCONSTRAINT CHECKS: THERE ARE 12918 BOUNDARY CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS MODEL. OVERCONSTRAINT CHECKS FOR BOUNDARY CONDITIONS SPECIFIED ON SLAVE NODES OF RIGID BODIES, OF *TIE OPTIONS, OR OF *COUPLING OPTIONS REQUIRE 5 Mb OF MEMORY. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM, PLEASE TURN OFF OVERCONSTRAINT CHECKS USING *CONSTRAINT CONTROLS, NO CHECKS or INCREASE THE MEMORY USED BY THE PRE-PROCESSOR."

I searched in previous threads and found the advice to use "*CONSTRAINT CONTROLS, NO CHECKS" command in the input file. I have used it, by placing it in different sections of the input file but to no avail. Where exactly should I put it? Beginning of *Step? End of *Step? Beginning of *Boundary? or end? Or *Boundary condition?

Most probably it should be placed between *heading and *part
