Syntax error(s) found in bulk data 'TABLEST' card

Martina Blazheska

Hello!

I am wondering if anyone can help me with my linear analysis.

I am trying to set up MATS1 for my materials because I want to try the Neuber correction instead of an NLSTAT analysis. 

As I understand from Altair Trainings for OptiStruct for Non-Linear Analysis, I am supposed to describe the elasto-plastic behavior of the materials using a Curve with a TABLES1 or TABLEST card. I set up TABLEST cards for all my materials, but for some reason, when trying to run the analysis, I get the following errors in the out file: 

  (this is continuation line 1 of TABLEST,1 bulk data)
   "+       ENDT"
  Syntax error(s) found in bulk data 'TABLEST' card.
  

Then, the run fails. I am quite new to non-linear materials, so if anyone can share their experience with this it would be very helpful.

Hi Martina, 

I guess you have curve defined with an end like the below: 

+          59.96 -0.0251   59.97 -0.0188   59.98 -0.0126   59.99 -0.0063
+           60.0     0.0
+           ENDT    

The correct format should be the below. If you import and export the curve from HyperWorks, it should be corrected as below. 

+          59.96 -0.0251   59.97 -0.0188   59.98 -0.0126   59.99 -0.0063
+           60.0     0.0ENDT    

it's just my guess. It will be easier if you can show a screenshot of the part mentioned by this error msg. 

Thanks.
