No STL file found. At least 1 stl file must be listed under the *STLF card.
At least one STL file must be used in the *STLF card.
STL file input *STLF is attempted with patran neutral file *INPU. Choose only one geometry input method.
This error occurs when the user attempts to use both an .stl file and a Patran-generated mesh simultaneously.
STL file input *STLF is used with no adaptivity card *ADAP. Add the *ADAP card to the input files using proper values.
STL file import *STLF is used with no layer mesh grouping *PBPA. Add the *PBPA card using proper values.
These errors indicate the proper meshing options have not been turned on using when using *STLF.
Min z coordinate in STL file is not attached to the substrate. Use the *DDM! card to adjust the substrate coordinates.
This error is displayed with the substrate top value specified by *DDM! is lower than the minimum z value in the part geometry. Check units of the STL file, alter the DDM! settings, or translate the imported geometry files.
Negative or zero number of layers. Check if entire STL is inside substrate.
This error generally occurs if the top of the substrate set by the *DDM! card exceeds the maximum Z coordinate of the STL file. Fix the *DDM! values or regenerate the STL file at a different set of coordinates.
Netfabb repair was not successful. Try to adjust repair settings with *NTFT, try an extended repair with *NTFE, or repair in Netfabb.
One or more geometries could not be repaired. Try to adjust repair settings with *NTFT, try an extended repair with *NTFE, or repair in Netfabb.
When STL files with non-manifold edges or other errors are detected by the solver, it attempts to repair the STL so that it can be meshed. This uses the Netfabb default repair script. Upon failing, it re-attempts repair using the extended Netfabb repair script. If this operation does not return a meshable STL, it produces one of the above warnings, indicating that more in-depth STL repair is needed before the geometry file can be simulated.
Number of STL vertices must be positive. Re-export the STL from the source modeling software.
Number of STL triangles must be positive. Re-export the STL from the source modeling software.
STL padding tolerance *STOL must be non-negative. Increase STL padding tolerance to a minimum of 0.
This error occurs when the user has accidently input a negative value for the multiple STL tolerance value, *STOL.
The number of STL files specified by *STLF STL file import and *STLM STL file mapping must be identical.
This error occurs when the user has a mismatch between the number of STLs imported by *STLF and the number of items in the STL mapping card *STLM.
Configuration for STL ID ## must be in range [1, 3]. Fix values in STL mapping *STLM.
This error occurs when the user attempts to specify a configuration ID lower than 1 or higher than 3 in *STLM.
Configuration 2 for STL ID ## (substrate) is not supported yet. Fix values in STL mapping *STLM.
This error occurs when a user attempts to use the Configuration ID = 2 in *STLM.
PRM ID for STL ID ## must be in range [1, Number of STLS]. Fix values in STL mapping *STLM. Material ID for STL ID ## must be in range [1, ##Number of STLS]. Fix values in STL mapping *STLM.
These errors occur when the PRM or STL id set in *STLM is set higher than the number of PRM files imported by *PBPF or the number of STL files imported by *STLF respectively.
Volume fraction for STL ID ## must be in range [0.0, 1.0]. Fix values in STL mapping *STLM.
This error indicates that a volume fraction outside of the accepted bounds has been specified in the *STLM card.
The number of STL files specified by *STLF STL File and *STLC STL volume fraction must be identical.
The *STLC, *STLF, and *STLM cards must all have the number of STL files specified.
The STL index ## in *STIC is greater than the number of STL files ## in *STLF.
This error occurs when there is a numbering mismatch between *STIC and *STLF.
