Run-Time Error '3010' Table 'Table2' already exists

[Anonymous]

I receive a "Run-time error '3010' - Table 'Table2' already exists." message when trying to run an MES with Nonlinear Materials Models analysis.

Clicking OK causes the analysis to fail and I have to close and reopen the .FEM file in order to run the analysis again.  The analysis will start OK after doing this (but crashes later for a different "Reached autotm limit" error).

Has anyone else encountered this?  If so, have you found a solution?

Thank you,

Eric

Just commisserating, but I also run into this problem. Sometimes it's table 1, table 2, or table 3. This happens in v2015 and v2016. I think that Autodesk may have some memory leaks or file access issues. My solution has been to close Simulation Mechanical, and restart the Simulation Job Manager service (named 'adsk_dssp_job_server') via the Task Manager. This is just a band-aid though, not a stable solution. I find that this happens after a job has failed at least once (for any reason).
