Solver message 304616

A fatal error in the model was encountered during analysis. This error occurs when a beam element is connected to a tetrahedron node (number = ##) which is in the interior of the part, instead of on the surface. If no such problem is found, contact Autodesk support.

Explanation

This error occurs when a beam element is connected to a tetrahedron node which is in the interior of the part, instead of on the surface.

Resolution

  1. Use the Query tool on the Mesh menu to find the node indicated in the error message.
  2. If this node is in the interior of the part and is connected to a beam element, delete the beam element connected to this node.
  3. Create a beam element which connects the end of the feed system to a nearby surface node (replacing the deleted element).
  4. Run the analysis again.
  5. If this does not fix the problem, contact Autodesk support.
