Hello,

 

While solving a topology optimization file, I get the following error mesage:


 A fatal error has been detected during input processing:


  *** See next message about line 409 from file:
      D:/Optimization - Weight Reduction/Final/101/s101-5.fem
   'SURF           3ELFACE'
  Syntax error(s) found in bulk data 'SURF' card.

 

Unable to understand what does it say?

How to resolve this?

    Hi,

    If you have any contact surface in the model, can you recreate it?.

    If still problems persist, please share the model to the drop box.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the hint.

    Issue resolved:

    Solution: I changed the card image of contact surface from SURF (might be default) to none.
