Duplicate SPOINT ID

Unknown

Hi all,

 

 I am trying ot excetute the Normal models solution using Optistruct and I get this error:

 

 

-------------------------

 

 Duplicate SPOINT ID 365 - it is used on GRID card.

 

---------------------------

 

I went through the forum and found that renumbering migt help. I renumbered all the nodes, bit it still showed the same error.

 

Looking into the .FEM file, I found the node in the GRID

 

 

The node ID doesnt seeme to be duplicated.

 

Saddly I cannot share the file, since it is under the NDA.

 

All the help would be much appretiated.

 

Regards,

Hi @uros

 

Is it a warning or error message?

 

Could you please share entire .out file?

Please change GRID 365 to GRID 99999999 or max id of nodes + 1

Hi @uros

 

 

One way is to renumber the GRID IDs so that the ID number of GRID shifts from ID of SPOINT.

 

If you are trying to generate a DMIG h3d, you can use DMIGMOD to shift the IDs in H3DDMIG

hi, I amaged to solve the problem. There was an eeror with the duplicate damping elements. I deleted this elements and all went well.

 

I am faced with another problem though. I have a number of 1D elements in the model some of them are RBAR and some of them are CBAR elements.I cant seeme to find the way to change CBAR elements to RBAR. I am sure it is not to difficult. Much appretiate the help.

 

Thanks,
