Geometry changes during analysis - model cyclic error - no results

[robo-bart]

Hi,

I really need your help on this one, I've been removing the incoherence on the meshes for this model. I read from the forums that these are the causes for "cyclic error". It's very difficult when this error comes because analysis run just would'nt continue untill I find the solution.

For this case, I tried to align the walls where there are incoherence and then remesh. But after running analysis, I observed that the panel contour definition returned to misalignment. I used the object geometry macro to see this. I believe that should not happen, hence, I appear stuck since the solution I am working on just comes back every time I run analysis.

Attached is the picture of the set of walls im aligning together. Below also is the link to file.

Hoping for your help.

Thanks,

model cyclic error - turn off kinematic links in job preferences

[Rafal.Gaweda · Accepted solution]

Meshes corected in this file

- no kinematic links,

- no regular mesh

- arc shaped plate - arc should be create as desccrete arc to correcty match bars or as a series on lines

Thank you very much Rafal, I am currently running analysis. I saw in the model you sent that there are  blue crosses on some nodes which I thought were the panel contour points, is this correct?

Also, since I wanted to see how to show them by myself, I tried to open display dialog box, but it won't open!? Could this be a bug?

Hi, display dialog box opens now. It might have just taken long. I am now looking closely to what you've done on the model. Really appreciate your help!

Thank you very much Rafal, I am currently running analysis. I saw in the model you sent that there are  blue crosses on some nodes

I have changed arcs to polylines (I drew whole panel again)

which I thought were the panel contour points, is this correct?

Yes.
