Hi, I'm trying to make a buckling analysis of a CBEAM element for a project and I'm having some problems when I try to run the analaysis in Optistruct. I keep getting the message

 

*** See next message about line 129 from file:
     D:/asus/Desktop/MEst/HM/buckling.fem
  '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.)

 

I looked into everything in my model and all seems fine I don't get where the error comes from. Please help, the model is attached

    Problem solved! I only found out know that the property must be PBEAM, and not PBEAML because of my cross section, that is not standard
