Hello,

*** ERROR # 40 ***
CBUSH # 9099 has zero length.

I have the error message as described above. This is my CBUSH Element and the two nodes which I selected:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/moxwmzopoaq3st8/CBUSH%20Setup.png
I checked that the first node always connects to the dependent node of the RBE3 and that the second node connects to the extra node I created on top of the RBE3 center node.

I once did a workaround with defining a vector so I would not use the default setting for the cbush element as described in the cbush element description. However, I just watched the webinar a saw that he did not and was still able to the CBUSH without that error message.

Where did I go wrong?

Thank you

    hawkbecker,

    Can you try with the CID field set to 0 for all the cbush elements

    HawkBecker,

    You need to go to the card edit panel, and then choose the cbush elements,
