I ran into this error and I am not sure exactly what it means. I recieve this error almost immediately after I start running the simulation. I was wondering what LHS means and if someone could give me an explanation of the error. Also, I would like to know what could be done to fix the model.
Thanks

Hi,
LHS usually stands for "Left Hand Side", as in the terms on the left side in the matrix of equations being solved as oppose to the terms in the matrix on the right hand side. So I think this is of no help.
MPC stands for Multi-point constraints. The processor thinks that your model includes MPCs, but it did not find something. My guess is that "ID=0" means that there are no multi-point constraint equations, or the software thinks there is at least one equation but it has no terms in the equation.
Check under "Setup > Constraints > Multi-Point Constraints" to see if it is either blank because you do not want any MPCs, or that it is setup properly if you do want MPCs.
Next, there are various features that use MPCs in the solution. So if your analysis includes any of these, check that those item are setup properly:
