A fatal error has been detected during input processing:

 

  *** ERROR # 3405 ***

  Internal overflow happened due to the large size of model.

  This version of OptiStruct can not solve it.

 

Could somebody help me to solve this problem

    Hi Mithun,

     

    This error is due to huge model size

     

    Does it happen in 2017.2 HyperWorks?

    yeah its the same in that as well. btw did you get a chance to look at the model.  In the model  I sent you, what do you think is the best constraint for the send part of optimization

    Hi,

     

    Let me guess, you have lot of elements and many load cases.  Try unchecking a few load cases for the analysis

    Hi, with help of the Altair Support I found the solution. 

     

    Solution for me was to put the '-i64' flag as a run option.

    '-i64'             Use executable compiled with 64-bit integer, same as -altver i64

     

    You can see my model size above and I had two loadcases.

    Hi,

     

    Using 64 bit solver should solve with 2017.2.

     

    You can add this using ControlCards>>PARAM>>I64SLV
