    hi,

     

    are you usng RBE3s?

     

    This indicates that, the dependent DOF (Master Grid) has been selected in the independent DOF too. Please note that RBE3 element has only one dependent node and multiple independent DOF grids.

     

    Delete the dependent DOF from the independent DOF list and try running the job, this should fix the issue.

    Hello,

     

    please use the command 'Tools-> check elems->1-D' rigid loops and depenency (including independent nodes).

     

    Best regards,

    Mario
