The system has not enough free memory (RAM) to create the FE-Matrix.

We109f304

A complexity of … (detail: …) is too high, and also a complexity of … (detail: …) would certainly be too high to pass the first iteration. A complexity of … (detail: …) is recommended.

The chosen complexity value is too high to be calculated on this machine. A certain maximum complexity value is recommended.

We109f304 is handled as an error

The warning We109f304 causes a stop of the calculation.

Sometimes, this error can prevent an optimisation with a Start Space on the highest resolution level although the optimisation would be possible. Add disable.error.Ee109f304 to the Advanced User Settings to ingnore it.

E8b7af774

The Mask … was removed.

The Design Space has lost the connection to a Non-Design Space on which no boundary conditions are applied (former W8b7af774).

E86b9657

Start space volume is magnitudes bigger than design space. You might want to check start space scaling.

The Start Space STL-file is in a wrong unit system.

Only the SI-Unit system is supported for a Restart.

Ec3b1ac29

No fixed knots found.

The Design Space has lost the connection to one or more of the fixation(s). The model is no longer fixated and it doesn’t make sense to continue with the optimisation.

E8bb13ecb

The … was removed and the applied boundary constraints are not considered

The Design Space has lost the connection to the force/constraint application point. The model is no longer complete and it doesn’t make sense to continue with the optimisation.

In case you are using the symmetry option, have a look at your model setup. The forces and constraints must be applied on the part of the model in the direction of the positive coordinate system.

Ec9140297

Please don't overlay different Coordinate Systems that have fixation constraints.

Check your fixation constraints which refer to the local coordinate systems.

Missing iteration level … in config

The input of the Advanced User Settings is incomplete.

E1cbd48f4

Memory allocation error.

There is not enough working memory available. Adjust the Complexity to a lower value and restart the optimisation.

Ed35de27c

Last written PLY file could not be determined.

Check your available memory. If you don’t have enough available memory the result files cannot be written and the optimisation cannot continue. If you have sufficient memory, please contact the MSC Apex Support.
