Error 1000, Field #4

Altair Forum User

Hi All, 

I am simulating two components connected with a bolt. I have modelled the bolt with a PBEAM. 

I have got the following error message, what is field #4?

************************************************************************

 'PBEAM          2       10.0     0.0     0.0     0.0     0.0'
 
 *** ERROR # 1000 *** in the input data:
 Incorrect data in field # 4.

************************************************************************

Thank you!

Hi,

Field#4 is area of cross section, in your case , it is 0.0

field#5, #6 ,.. of your data is 0.0 also.

You need to create a beam section and assign it to PBEAM, or input correct value to the fields
