Hello, I've searched this forum and found quite a few similar experiences but no solution.

The problem occurs when I switch between linear static and non linear static analysis type.

The linear analysis works fine but when I try to run the non linear static analysis I get following error code:

I've already tried all the suggested solutions, but nothing has worked so far. 

Please help if you can. I'd be very thankful.

 

Edit: A friend with a full license just tried to run a non linear analysis on my model and it works. So the source of the problem must be in the student software version.
