Good morning forum,
We have recently acquired new AD_Simulation license and are going through our growing pains of learning.
The PV and firetube model was constrained in the following manner:
Question we have is would someone shed light on these comments from the "Check Model" report:
fem2esh - Make esh file from fem file for a specified design scenario

Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved by ilyas_drawbridge. Go to Solution.
Are there non-volume entities(e.g: CAD surfaces) in your model? If there is, make sure that its element type under the part heading in the browser is set accordingly. Plate/shell for surface elements, beam or truss for line elements, etc. Do not use brick element type for those entities. As for symmetry, you should also make sure that not only is the shape symmetrical, but the load must be symmetrical as well.

Ilyas
