Solver message 304142

Message text

** ERROR 304142 ** Element element number has a zero determinant. The element may be flat.

Explanation

If any elements in the model are flat (have zero volume), then the simulation cannot proceed.

Resolution

  • Simplify the model to remove text, fillets and other small features which do not affect analysis.
  • Reduce the number of high aspect ratio triangles in the Dual Domain mesh then create the tetrahedral mesh again.
