Element quality check

Altair Forum User

I am working on composite analysis using optistruct solver. While solving I got error 'program stopped due to element quality check.' what should be the solution for this. whether I have to remesh again or is there any command by which element quality criterion gets automatically satisfied.

Thanks.

Hi Bhushan,

You can Bypass the element quality check. Use the control card CHECKEL>>NO

Goto Analysis>> Control Cards>>PARAM>>CHECKEL>>NO

Hi Bhushan,

Are you running any optimization on your model?

Altair Forum User

Hi prakash,

In optistruct solving button I am keeping run option to analysis. Is it optimization?

Altair Forum User

No, if you are using Analysis, optimization will be skipped.

Can you share the model file?

Sorry I can not share model because of security issue.

Bhushan,

OK. Since the problem is only with 2 elements, try to delete those elements and recreate again.

After recreating check if the problem is solved,

Hi prakash,

Do you know how to find out element with highest warp angle and vertex angle.

Hi prakash,

Do you know how to find out element with highest warp angle and vertex angle.

Check with element id.

I'm using optimization and it didn't skipped. How to skip this iteration and continue when occurs error 'program stopped due to element quality check.'？

Hi @wangs8811

What type of optimization is it?

Is this happening in between the iterations or at the beginning of optimization?

could you please share the .out file?
