Error in solid element connectivity, the first 4 nodes must be unique


Hi, everyone
Thanks for reading this topic.
When I submitted a job, I got the error information:
*** Error 20222 (STR +222)
in solid element connectivity, element 103338
the first 4 nodes must be unique.
Then I find this element 103338 and check element, there is no problem with its connectivity and duplicates (see the bellowing picture). It is very confusing.
If I delete this element and translate + duplicate an adjacent one and then equivalence nodes, the error will still exist, but in another different element. I don't how many elements has this problem.
I also tried renumber all, but it is still useless.
I really want to have your suggestions if you are familiar with it. Thanks a lot.


Try duplicating all elems.then delete the originals
Could you share *.fem file?
Thanks a lot. I will try and see if it works

Hello,
Instead of translating and duplicating the element, can you please try and create a new element from '2D' page 'edit element' panel.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Thank you


Thanks for your help. I can create new element use the edit element panel. But the next analysis will still have the error with another element. I am really confused. I want to find out every element with this problem and correct them all.

Hello,
I would suggest you to try this method a couple of times but if the problem does not go away please consider re-meshing the whole thing.
Thank you
