Basic Solid Linear Static Error

Keonkim1991

Hi,

I am trying to learn how to run FEA on hyperworks (beginner). Eventually, I'm going to implement it for my thesis.

I've followed exactly as the tutorial video tells me to do in terms of meshing, assigning material and property, load collectors and setup.

As I ran the OptiStruct, it gives me error of,

 

 

 *** Errors with missing, incorrect or duplicate IDs found 600 times.

************************************************************************

 There were 600 error messages during input processing.
  The first message is repeated below:

  *** ERROR 14: Missing property #    1 referenced by  CQUAD4 # 1.
  *** Errors with missing, incorrect or duplicate IDs found 600 times.

 

************************************************************************

 ==== End of solver screen output ====

 ==== Job completed ====

 

 

I've read other questions, but this error seems like it's coming from assigning the wrong property. I made sure it's selected as PSOLID. 

My model is just a simple cube, I am not sure where this error comes from. Could you please help me going through this problem?

I'm attaching the model file for your review. Please point out what I've done wrong. I'm a bit frustrated learning this software because of so many things need to be done prior to the analysis.

Hi

You must have converted shell elements into solid elements, check whether you deleted shell elements or not? If not kindly delete shell elements.

Hi Nachiket. Could you please explain how to delete all the shell elements applied?

Press F2, select elements by config => select quad4 for quad elements and tria3 for triangular elements and delete the selected elements.
