Error:Number of integration points must be greater than zero

[ccz90]

I use Algor FEMPRO in static state  simulation. But the analysis did not finish everytime. What I get is the error message:Number of integration points must be greater than zero. Does anybody know the meaning of the message and  how to solve the problem? Thanks.

ccz90,

Please modify the Element Definition for each brick part; that is, right-click on "Element Definition" in the browser, choose "Modify Element Definition", and click OK. This will set the number of integration points.

If you have multiple parts with the same Element Definition, you can select all of those Element Definitions by holding the Ctrl key and clicking on each one. Then right-click and do the above.

Or, you can select the Parts in the canvas or browser, right-click, and choose "Modify > Element Data".

Lots of options!

Finally, many of the error messages can be found in the documentation: "Help > Contents > Autodesk Algor Simulation > Setting Up and Performing the Analysis > Setting Up Part 3 > Performing the Analysis > Performing A Linear Analysis > Common Linear Analysis Error Messages".
