Error 14 in modal analysis of a motor

While trying to perform modal analysis of a motor containing more than 50 components, I am getting same error (Error 14) multiple times. The contact surfaces are provided to solid faces. I can't find where the problem is arising.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Mayur,

There is a layer of shell elements on top of solid elements for HOUSING_AND_NDE_STEEL component.

Not sure what it is for. Please check and correct the same.

Hi sir,

Thank you for your help. I am not getting ERROR 14 any longer. But this time I am getting ERROR 1000 (Incorrect data in field #3).

Although I have specified all the materials and their respective properties correctly. I just haven't specified the material for 'epoxy potting' because it has to be kept hidden while performing analysis. It is a free free analysis. I have used EIGRL card. Rest everything looks fine. Still I'm getting the above mentioned error.
