what kind of error is this?
"PBEAML 1 1 +"

* ERROR # 1479 * in the input data:
Incorrectly formatted numeric data in field 9.
(If it is a character field, it should start with a letter.)

* Run terminated because of error(s) in the input data.

this is an error in a static linear analysis in Optistruct.
how can I solve this?

    There is a formatting error in your input file, Look in your fem file for that string (PBEAML 1 etc etc), this can be caused by the card before this one being formatted incorrectly (and it is then trying to read your PBEAM card when it is expecting input for the previous card)
