Error ID 79 : ** ERROR : DUPLICATE ID


Hi,
I'm trying to run a simulation but there are many of my elements (3D solid and 3D Shell) where I have the Error ID 79 (** ERROR : DUPLICATE ID). What can I do to suppress this error?
(I already check if I had more than one mesh, but no)
thanks


Hi
Here is the two types of error message I have :
ERROR ID : 79
** ERROR : DUPLICATE ID
DESCRIPTION :
IN 3D SHELL ELEMENTS DEFINITION DEFINITION :
ID=2951 is DUPLICATED
ERROR ID : 79
** ERROR : DUPLICATE ID
DESCRIPTION :
IN 3D SOLID ELEMENTS DEFINITION DEFINITION :
ID=3015 is DUPLICATED
thanks

Hi,
Could you share us complete input deck?
Make sure that you are not having duplicate elements or empty property collectors.

Hi Beth02,
Check if there are any duplicate elements.
Also, try renumbering the elements IDs using Tools page>>Renumber and run the analysis.


Hi M. Pagadala
Thanks for your answer. When I checked if there are duplicate ID, HyperMesh told that I have not. When I looked into the _0000.rad file, I saw that the same ID was used for different meshes. Using the ‘’renumber’’ tool has solved the problem (no error anymore), but I don’t understand why the numbering of my different meshes have some same ID? (The only thing I saw in link was in the mesh option ‘’allow duplicate ID’’, but this option was unchecked.)
Do you know why the numbering of my mesh’s elements ID of different parts are sometime the same?
Thank you


Hi Beth02,
I am not really sure what created the duplicate IDs.
In future if you come across the same problem, please share your model with us.


Hi Ram,
Can you share the model file with the out file


HI Ram,
Please check the rigid bodies in the model. The same master node of rigid bodies is shared by a least two rigid bodies, which is an incompatible condition.
Moreover,a node of the mesh is selected as the master node of a rigid body, which is not recommended.
Please check the output block created in the model. No TH variable is defined in the model.
Dear George,
how to clear the dependency in the rigid elements?
In rigid elements , Dependent node & independent node is there...
Which node can't be shared by two rigid elements??
or
Both can't be shared by two elements???
I am in situation to create the two rigid elements at particular location...
Please give your valuable guidelines
Thanks
RAM


Hi Ram,
A rigid body is defined by a set of slave nodes and a master node and the best practice is to create a master node that is not attached to anything. The master node of the rigid body should be free. Only loads and boundary conditions should be applied on the master node.
And also it is not possible to have two rigid elements connected to a single dependent node, which will create dependency issue.In Check Elements (F10) panel user can check rigid elements for conditions causing double dependency and can clear them.
Dear George,
I am facing the error as follows
** ERROR IN GROUP DEFINITION
DESCRIPTION :
-- TRANSFORMATION UNEXISTING
-- ID : 1
-- TITLE : auto1
NODE GROUP ID=0 DOES NOT EXIST
I have cleared the double dependency of the rigid elements also but still error occurs..
Please give your valuable guidelines
Thanks
RAM


Hi Ram,
Did you assign any local coordinate system for assigning loads?.
Please share the complete out file.


Hi Ram,
If you have a local system in the model, make it a fixed skew and try running the analysis. A fixed skew is necessary which you have to reference in the /inivel card.

HI,
It required fixed frame in the above table. Go to tools>create cards>frame>fix
You can try this. I have used this for such boundary conditions.

Hi,
Please provide the screen shot of the error message.


Hi Ram,
Please assign the node group for the system collector defined. If node_ID1 and node_ID2 are defined, the rotation will be done around the vector defined by node_ID1 and node_ID2. And also provide the rotation angle value. Please refer the Help Menu on /TRANSFORM/ROT card where it is explained in detail.
Please recheck the rigid bodies created in the model. Many rigid bodies are sharing the same master node, which is an incompatible condition.
Also, the master node is selected on elements, which is not recommended. For rigid components, please create /MAT/LAW1 material and assign.


Hi Beth02,
Can you paste the entire error message?
or share the .out file with us.
