Risque & Conseil Error

Hi,

I've been trying to create a model using torque and pressures. I can get both to work separately as different files, however when I try to combine them to make the final model I get errors. I've attached the .mess file to view them.

I found that when I create a simple model and apply a pressure it works but then when I start to add a new node and edges to create a beam for my torque that's when I get the errors. I added a new node to the mesh then created a group for it. I then created a group of nodes on the model and attached the two with edges which I grouped. Without applying any loads or constraints to the new groups I ran the pressure analysis again and get the errors.

I'm guessing this is where my difficulties getting the final analysis to work are stemming from. Is there something I should be doing to the created nodes and edges? I don't understand why adding them changes the analysis.

Any help would be great.

Thanks<br /><br />Post edited by: JamesD, at: 2009/11/19 14:19

Hi Kees,

I am adding a node slightly offset to the original mesh then grouping that single node with the name 'Force'. I then group the four corner nodes of the model and call them 'nodegrp'. I then connect these four nodes to the single node with edges, I group these edges as 'Rig'. I have been playing around with this for a while now and I'm not getting anywhere!

I have attached the folder which contains the files. the Test.hdf file is the working mesh with a Press_Rep applied. The file Test2.hdf is the same but with the new node and groups applied.



Thanks for the help

Regards

James
