Nodes with "*" in FE results

[jmmarin]

Hi,

it is the fist time I obtain the following when I consult the FE results. In the table, most of the nodes are shown as a number and "*" (see attached figure). 

In addition, the nodes with "*" do not appear in the table of nodes, so that they do not have coordinates.

The model is calculated and there are not any errors. There are only the advise of kinematic contraints but it happens only in a few o nodes and they are not in the shell where I obtain the results with "*".

I would be glad if someoune has an answer for this issue...

Regards.

Hi @jmmarin

These are the calculation nodes automatically generated by the program:

Hi @Artur.Kosakowski,

Thank you for your reply, as always.

The thing is, why is creating ROBOT those nodes if there is no a difficult joint of panels?. I mean that  I have the interesection of two panels as shown in the following figure:

As an example, in the red coulored mark, the node 1431 is created as an auxiliar node of the node 36:

Hi @jmmarin

My assumption is that you defined aa linear release along this edge which created DSC elements. The * nodes belong to these elements.
