Robot analysis running SLOW!

[Anonymous]

 Hi all,

Robot analysis is taking a lot of time analysing the model. I wonder what is wrong in my model. I am aware that there are a lot of finite elements in my model. However I am just running the Dead load case and it is just stuck at the stage of 'Applying of loads'. Would it be possible to give me some advice on the model?

Thanks,

Chinnie

I don´t really know where the problem is. Probably on an incorrect load definition .

But it is not on or DL load case .

On Load table , if you delete all the loads assigned to all load cases BUT DL , the model will run perfectly and fast.

Because of (FE) linear 2p(3D) loads

I deleted the Linear 2p(3D) Loads and it works just fine. Thanks Rafal and Rafacascudo. So if I have to add the Linear 2p(3D) loads on , I would have to use the Macro to convert it into a linear load then?

Just out of curiosity, why does linear 2p(3D) loads doesn't work in general?

No, you can use "Linear loads on Edges" defining first lines or polylines to be loaded

It works, but as you can see  - sometimes slow.
