Error ID 534 and Warning ID 692

Altair Forum User

Hello guys,

first of all, I'd like to thank you for your great support. 

I'm quite new to FE analysis and now i'm facing my first problems.

To get known to HyperWorks, I started to mesh an imported CAD file with Hypermesh and defined materials and properties.

Before applying Boundary Conditions and forces I wanted to check the model for errors and started the anaylisis ( Solver: Radioss (Block 140))

 

That's where I encountered some error messages. With the help of this forum I was able to fix some problems.

For these messages I wasn't able to find any solution:

 

ERROR ID :          534
** ERROR IN ELEMENT GROUP
WARNING ID :          692
** WARNING IN SURFACE DEFINITION

 

According to that warning, i found a thread here ( http://forum.altairhyperworks.com/index.php?/topic/19028-warnings/#comment-39612 )

Unfortunately I couldn't help myself to fix that issue. For which criteria I have to check the surfaces?

What's to do to fix that error in element group?

 

Regards

Hi,

This error seems like there is an empty element group in the model. Please check the model for the same.

If possible, please share the model file (_0000.rad).
