Hello everyone,
is there any way to decode solver warnings? I want to know, in which part of the geometry (node/element) the problem is exactly.
For example a warning/message could be like this:
PCGLSS0204:Negative or zero pivot -3.490117e+000 at row 7284r) |
Or can I have a look into the result-files or log-files to get an idea, where the problem is exactly?
Up to now I can only do random changes to the meth or the constraints until the simulation works without problems. It would be great to get some ideas what to change to save time iterating.
Best regards
no real way to dig into that error without being a developer
but some suggestions:
1. look it up in the solidworks discussion forum and the solidworks Kb
2. report it to your reseller, at minimum they can report to the developers so that a good error message can be generated
3. use an iterative method to find the problem but be intelligent about it. errors usually come up from bad geometry, bad mesh, or bad setup. if you start simple (fixed bc and gravity and bonded contacts) you will be able to isolate geometry and mesh right away for example.
