Having an FEA problem running a frequency analysis. I keep getting a beam element error. I'm not using any beam elements. Have about 12 pin connectors. 2 of them are defined with a linear stiffness along their axis 1.25 e10 N/m. A static analysis runs fine. Any ideas anyone?
Thank you for replying. I fixed the model by suppressing individual pins until I found the offending item. Deleting it and inserting a new pin connection didn't fix the issue. So I deleted one component and then saved it a copy and put that in the model. Pin connector worked fine then. It must have been some form of corruption that occurred form continuously changing the model.
can you post more info about your model? it looks like to me that you have some thin extrusions or weldments that would automatically be converted into beams
