Hi @ac27879EJYJ,

 

Thank you for providing the screenshot. The error labels indicate the pre-mesh estimator has detected the number of elements requested will exceed the overall 4.5 million element count limit (or a 6 million element count limit if the Simulation Model contains only one solid body) .

 

Some possible workarounds:

  1. Reduce the number of elements / mesh density specified in the Mesh Settings.
    • e.g. Increase the Average Element Size %
  2. Reduce the model complexity by de-featuring in the Simulation Simplify workspace.
  3.  Take advantage of the symmetry technique, and cut away 1/2 or 3/4 of the model to reduce the problem size accordingly.
    • Care must be taken to ensure the load case(s) can qualify as, and modified to act 'symmetric'.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions, comments or suggestions.

 

Best regards,
