The dependent mesh is not the same. Check that mesh settings *PBPA and *PBLR for part analyses or *ADAP, *ADP1, and *NELR for moving source analysis, are identical between the thermal and mechanical input files.
This error occurs when different mesh settings (or Patran meshes) are used for the thermal and mechanical simulations resulting in different numbers of elements in the two meshes. Ensure all mesh controls are identical in the two input files.
Could not read dependent thermal binary results example.bin. The thermal analysis may have not been completed. Check the thermal .out log file and rerun if necessary.
This error will be shown if the .bin file specified by a mechanical analysis does not exist, is incomplete, or corrupted. Ensure the correct dependent file is set by the *DEPE card. Check the log files to ensure the thermal analysis completed successfully.
