Solver message 201408

Message text

** WARNING 201408 ** You have selected the option to not upgrade any tetrahedral elements to second order. This option may underpredict the out-of-plane deflection for typical thin-walled parts.

Explanation

You have selected the first-order tetrahedral element option in a 3D Warp analysis. First-order elements require much less memory and analyze much more quickly than second-order elements. However, if the part is thin-walled, the out-of-plane deflection may be underpredicted.

Resolution

To obtain more accurate results, click Analysis > Process Settings Wizard, and navigate to the Warp Settings page. Click Advanced options... and set Upgrade tetrahedral elements to second order to Automatic or All.
