Number of spring connectors - Limitations?

Leonardo Presciuttini Nov 3, 2014 7:46 AM

Is there a known limitation on the number of spring connectors?

In my problem I get the answer "Internal Error" during the task "Establishing Spring Connector" and then the linear analysis is stopped.

If I suppress a part of the connectors (I have 950 of them) the problem disappears

It was not a problem of quantity of connectors. After many hours of tests I found the unique connector which caused the internal error. I have not found any particularity of that connector which could justify its behavior different from the rest of connectors.

just to answer your question, i don' think there is a limit.

what is your application that you have so many spring connectors?
