Error 2418

Anasy

Hi I am doing some topology optimisation of a 2D engine pylon and I am getting ERROR # 2148 ***  Invalid design problem.  All the sensitivities of response 1 (objective) are zero. I have attached my model and can you please tell me what to do to get rid of this error?

You're actually missing the property thickness, which is blank/Zero.

Always run a analysis only run before the optimization to make sure the model runs fine.

You can also check the model before running, in HyperMesh, using Model Checker (Ctrl+F>>model checker Optistruct).

 

The other point is that your force is applied to a 'flying node' which is not connected to anything, thus no load is applied to the pylon structure, thus no result will be found.
