Stress Analysis fails to run because parts use the same name

I have a Frame that I am attempting to run a simple stress analysis on, but when I Simulate, It fails because I have multiple components with the same name. This was fully assembled with the frame generator, so of course, it would reuse Items. Can someone shed some light on this. It would be much appreciated. 

I found something about this issue that was resolved in a patch, But I updated to 2021.3 and receive the same error.

Hi Dustin,

 

This one looks like a bug or a limitation to me. The browser name was indeed changed but FEA still complains about the duplicate name. Go to Manage -> Rebuild All. Then the Simulation can proceed.

Regardless, Rebuild All should not be needed.

Many thanks!

Hi johnsonshiue,

 

The Rebuild All command does not work for us, running Inventor 2024.

 

Any other ideas?

Hi Chris,

 

Yes, I am experiencing the same issue as the original poster and I've only tried the Rebuild All command, I'm not sure what else to try.

Hi! Another possibility is that somehow there are two components named the same in the browser. Go to Assembly ribbon -> Productivity -> Rename Browser Nodes -> change it to File Name. After that, does FEA run fine now?

Many thanks!
