    The error will also describe the line number,etc please check the data in that particular line to make sure there are no syntax problems in that line.

     

    What is the analysis type you are running and provide other details of your input file (how was it generated etc)

     

    We have seen this error before when users use superelement punch files with optistruct, if this is the case remove the information shown at the beginning of the file and only keep the matrix information. 

     

    If there are any unsupported cards in the input file these will have to be removed as well,

    i'm working on topology optimization.

     

    i tried to attach that .fem file but it is not permitting me to upload

     

    .fem text :

     

    EIGRL          20.0     60.0                                        MASS

    $$

    $$  SPC Data

    $$

    SPC            1  515910  123   0.0     

    SPC            1  412714  1234560.0     

    SPC            1  412720  1234560.0     

    SPC            1  412723  1234560.0     

    SPC            1  412727  1234560.0     

    $$

    $$

    echo=none

    ENDDATA

    $$

     

     

    here is the error message:


     

     *** Problem(s) found while reading line 116492 from file: modal_f_v1.fem

      (this is continuation line 1 of SPC,1 bulk data)

      'echo=none'

     

     *** ERROR # 1482 ***

     Field 1 contains incorrect characters or embedded blank(s).
