What's the analysis type?
Please make sure that you have appropriate load multiplier (LSS) and load curve (MES).
After going through your model, I know the problem: your moment load is not applied correctly.
Moment load is usually only applied on "rotational degree of freedom". Your failed because there is no rotational DOF for regular brick elements.
To resolve the problem here, you have two ways:
1.) apply moment as a remote load. This is for the case that the moment is on a surface
or
2.) If you only want to add the moment on a point/node, you have to manually add several beam elements around the node. Since beam elements carry on rotational DOF, you can apply moment on this node now.
Here is the modified model according to the second way (adding beam elements).
I did attach the modified model in the message just above yours. 🙂
I have a similar problem with a flange analysis. I have an Instrumentation Flange with multiple ports in the center of the flange. I have fixed the outer bolt holes and applied a pressure on the opposite side of the flange on the center panel where the ports are. When the Instrumentation ports are in a circle around the edge of the center panel the analysis runs and gives reasonable results. I go to analyze a second configuration that differs only by having 8 Inst. ports in a circle and one in the center instead of 9 Inst. ports in a full circle around a solid center and the results are zero, no stress, no displacement.
Any thoughts?
The direct reason is the equation solver (AMG) didn't get an appropriate solution back.
I'm not sure why this happened.
The solution for your problem is to change the equation solver from "automatic" to "sparse", which locates at Analysis Parameters -> Solution ->Solution Options -> type of solver .
