Hi, guys,

 

I am running modal analysis with OptiStruct and try to export the Stiffness and Mass Matrices on two nodes. But got an error message:

 

 *** ERROR # 802 ***

  Repeated factorization failure due to panel limitations on pivoting.

       Solver error no. = -514

             subcase id = 1

     default panel size = 128

   increased panel size = 2048

  Please increase panel size and rerun the problem.

 

Can someone tell me what is panel size mean and how to increase it? Thanks.

    I am using 13.0 version.

    It's not a common issue to me, just happened once on a particular model and went away after I deleted some RBE2 elements. But still, I am interested in knowing the reason.
