Number of grids exceeds the maximum limit - 14Mio
Hi,
I wanted to start a linear static analysis and got the following error:
.................................................
A fatal error has been detected during input processing:
*** ERROR # 2781 ***
The number of grids in FEM model - 16424590, exceeds the maximum
limit - 14000000.
*** Run terminated because of error(s) in the input data.

It seems that there are too many Nodes (I want to use 2nd order elements). I absolutly need this large amount of nodes. How can I start the analysis anyway?
I DON'T use the student version by the way....

Hi,
You can try DEBUG option to bypass the error. But still >16M nodes is a huge model

This sounds interesting, what exactly would I have to do? The number of elements is needed due to a very complex geometry with a lots of fine structures, which will be produced with AM. With 1st order elements and using the iterative solver the problem is solved <15 min with around 12 mio. elements. There isn't really a possibility to choose larger elements in specific areas if I want to approximate the geometry in a good quality (having 3 element 'rows' per dimension, very fine structures).
Wow ! I would like to know this limit too. Is this true?
