I run a beam with this features, length=6, depth=0.57 and width=0.08
and the number of element in each direction is as follow:
Nx=4 #Number of elements in x direction
Ny=26 #Number of elements in y direction
Nz=50 #Number of elements in z direction (longitudinal direction)
and every thing was fine and the analysis done with no error.
In order to do mesh sensitivity, I decided to decrease the length of the beam from 6 to 3, then increase the number of elements in each direction. But I received an error and the analysis terminated with no output, I really do not know what is the problem because nothing is mentioned as the reason of the error.
Does anyone know the reason?
Hi,
Looking at the message file and .dat file the reason could be found out for the error.
Although the analysis may have terminated, the .odb file will be generated for the time up to which simulation has run. You can open the .odb output file that is formed and analyze it up to where the simulation has run, this will be helpful in getting the reason why and when the analysis got terminated.
If you need to model a beam structure, it is not necessary to use 3D brick elements. Only one beam element (2 nodes) will give the exact solution.
Can to share the error message or the input file?
When changing element sizes and meshes, the load and boundary conditions has to be assigned again.
