G3024 FATAL ERROR: G3024 elemtype ELEMENT id HAS AN EDGE POINT RATIO GREATER THAN tol
Cause: The specified element has an edge point to length ratio greater than the preset warning tolerance (dependent on element type): HEXMAXEPLRTOL, PENTMAXEPLRTOL, PYRMAXEPLRTOL, TETMAXEPLRTOL, QUADMAXEPLRTOL, and TRIMAXNEPLRTOL.
Action: Perform the following depending on the element type referenced:
  • If the edge point to length ratio is excessive, consider remeshing the applicable region or adjusting the edge node position towards the midpoint.
  • For hex elements set the HEXINODE model parameter to ON.
  • For quad elements set the QUADINODE model parameter to ON.
  • For quad elements set the SHELLRNODE model parameter to ON.
