Error in simlab


Updated by Altair Forum User
Hello
I am getting an error like this. How to resolve this?
*** ERROR # 772 ***
It is invalid to use a free grid as an independent grid in RBE3 data.
Free spiders are not allowed to be independent grids in RBE3 data.
RBE3 id = 433592
free grid id = 543806
weighted components = 123
You should remove this grid from the RBE3 data.

The error seems to be because of RBE3 nodes that are not connected to any part of the structure, this would create singularity in the model and hence OptiStruct throws the error message.
Automatic way to fix this via Param card, PARAM,RBE3FREE,YES.
