I got the following during "Mesh":
*** Warning *** Distorted pyramid found, 1 have been split to tets.
--- Part(1): 25206 type 8 elements, done.
Pls, need explaination, Thanks...
In quality check of the mesh, it found that pyramid is not good (none positive volume). pyramid's quad is warped In most such cases so program will split the pyramid to two tet elements to avoid negative Jacobian problem. And that warning is given.

Can this warning dialogue box be disabled? I cannot find a setting to turn off in the application options. Frequently, I'll start a simulation before heading home and this dialogue box will prevent the analysis from running overnight.
Thanks,
Mike
Hi michwmichw,
The option "Show decoder warnings and continue analysis" located on the Analysis tab under the Application Options should do what you are looking for. If not, please copy the complete text from the log file and paste it into a reply. That way, we can check what is occurring.
