Composite Loading

Altair Forum User

Hi there,

 

I am trying to run a simulation on the headrest below, however, I keep getting the error 

 

 *** See next message about line 28461 from file:
     G:/Laura_406_Design/Headrest_V1.fem
  (this is continuation line 1 of PCOMP,1 bulk data)
  '+              00.0     0.0          YES'
 
 *** ERROR # 1022 *** in the input data:
 Field 2 contains a value outside of allowable range.

 

I have so far been unable to fix it, despite ensuring the PID is a real integer. 

 

Thank you in advance

Laura

Thickness is not provided on PCOMP for the ply. Please check and try again.

Do you mean I need to enter a thickness under the 'Properties' Section?

Yes, please see the attached image. Thickness and material are missing in the PCOMP card

Thank you for you help before.

I have the model now, and would like to output the deflection of the top of the headrest as a function of the time step. Do you know how to do this/ could you please point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Hi @LauraT

 

If you need the output as a function of time, the input should be a function of time. 

 

Please run a transient analysis for that.
