Hey Guys,
I'm new to the forum and struggling to understand why my simulations crashes when I include bolts or gravity. The setup is shown below and is attached.
The error message which comes up is as follows:
Any thoughts would be extremely helpful.
Thanks
It looks like you are using SOLIDWORKS 2014 SP4, in which case it is likely the following known issue:
SPR 803290 - "Regression: In 2014 SP4.0, solver crash when running static or frequency analysis containing bolt connectors and gravity or centrifugal load (with any solver)"
The issue is resolved in 2014 SP5, so upgrading to a newer version should resolve this.
