Hi!

I received the following error message in SimLab when I tried to solve a Normal Mode problem with the solver OptiStruct:

Error: Check OptiStruct input file.

 

I have followed a tutorial, so I do not think there is something wrong with the boundary conditions, and when I tried the same thing a few days ago it did work. (I have tried different set ups as well, but receives the same error message).

Do you know what could be wrong/what can I do to search for the problem?

    I receives the same error message in the output files for every file/set up I have tried, for both solving the analysis and for optimization.

     A fatal error has been detected during input processing:
      *** See next message about line 5 from file:
          C:...
       (this is continuation line 1 of OUTPUT data
       'SCREEN NONE'
      *** ERROR # 1004 *** in the input data:
      Orphaned continuation data (previous card had a trailing comma).
