Altair Forum User

i'm not sure but maybe because of a bug, try exiting and starting the app again

or try to export your model and then import it again.

It should be the bug which have the same problems as before

but i usually coped it by deleting the command.cmf and hmmenu.set file in the hm file foleder after exit the hypermesh and restart hypermesh again

This time i try to use the same way ,eventually i fail

The model should be firstly equivalenced. Then you can find the duplications.

mvass

As previously mentioned: Try Tools-->check elements select 1D,2D or 3D elements (depending on your model) and then click 'length'. Note the max. length shown at the lower left corner. Go to Tools-->Edges and set tolerance equal or less than the number you have seen before (max. element length). Select the elements from your model (or components) and click show equivalence. If there are any unequivalenced nodes, they will be shown. Equivalence the nodes and then you can check for duplicates, using Tools-->check elements-->Duplicates...

hello,

 

what happens when my analysis says 'Error #1206 Duplicate ID's not Allowed' but when i used Tools>Check Elements>Duplicates, it returns that 0 duplicates were found.

 

Thanks for any help.

You have to renumber ID (Tools>renumber), Check duplicates just for element position

Hi jbarrie

 

If your error message is referring to any element, delete that particular element and recreate it.

 

if this is refering to nodes, as Tinh said, please renumber.
