Hi,

 

 

I have Created a geometry using TCL. As soon as i run it with Radioss it pops an error

ERROR IN RIGID BODY DEFINITION (INERTIA) 

Now when i simply imported the Radioss file the Cylinder component is not present.

I am posting a picture of it below with a component vanished also I am posting the complete cylinder after I run it in TCL. Could you tell me what the error is because even after commented the whole program and check by seeing the command.tcl file (while manually creating it in the GUI) i didn't find any difference.

 

I am specifying the subhead of the TCL code where I have written the code about the cylinder meshing  (It is on line 83)

### Cylinder component  for meshing

    Hi,

    please change command '*elementorder 2' to '*elementorder 1' because radioss does not support quad8N
