TSTEP tab error in HyperMesh

Damla

Hi, Iam doing a transient heat transfer analysis in Hypermesh 2024.1. I have a question about the TSTEP definition.

When I write the TSTEP card in 4–5 lines, I get the following error:

*** ERROR #1031 *** in the input data:

Too many continuation cards.

When I reduce TSTEP to only two lines, this error disappears, but I get another warning. Even though I don’t align with tabs but with spaces, I get a warning like the one below, and the analysis says “Automatic time stepping has been turned on”:

*** “TSTEP          290      30.0    1”

*** WARNING #2450

Non-portable input file - TAB character found in bulk data.

Could you please help me?

Hi,

please import the .fem with the warning in HyperMesh and export it again. The warning is not an error, but a message of incorrect formatting of the .fem file. I imagine you manually edited it.
