ERROR WHILE RUNNING THE JOB
Error in job : The area of 12 elements is zero, small, or negative. Check coordinates or node numbering, or modify the mesh seed. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemAreaSmallNegZero.
DESCRIPTION
When checked in the JOB NAME-->MONITOR-->DATA FILE, it is because the element size of few elements is too small. My problem is that i can't compromise with the geometry. The region where these erroneous elements lie is located between two partitions which are closely spaced, which can not be spaced any further apart. Could you please suggest any workaround?
Any suggestion/help is much appreciated!
Thanks for the reply Mr. Zaid, however, the problem is solved. I had tried partitioning, changing element type but the error persisted. For future similar questions, here is what worked for me. In interaction property, I had switched on the 'adjust to remove overclosure' option which for thinly spaced region might not work as the default overclosure of geometries is large (as was for my case). I used the 'No adjustment' option then and it worked fine. Best Regards
