PROGRAM STOPPED: ERRORS DURING ELEMENT QUALITY CHECK. How can I solve this problem?

I wanted to start the simulation of my mesh, but got the error message: PROGRAM STOPPED: ERRORS DURING ELEMENT QUALITY CHECK. 

Element # 11532, element type QUAD4

 

I already set the card PARAM with CHECKEL to NO, but it didn't help. My mesh has a really high number of elements, so I cannot fix them seperately. Or when I want to fix an element, I can't find it, because the model is too big.

 

Is there a different solution?

    The .out file is already saying which element is not ok.

    11532

     

    You can select this particular element, and isolate it using the 'I' hotkey in HW.

    Then you can use Ctrl+J to show adjacent elements to make it easier identifying them.

     

    Anyway, you show use 'check elements' even before running your model to verify for element checks.
