Error msg with Contact
(OP)
Hi guys,
I am trying to model a block containing a sphere under disp. load on the block. I've set up contact between the sphere and the surrounding surface from the block. I got the following error msg. Can anybody give me some advise?
***ERROR: THE NORMAL TO ELEMENT 1 INSTANCE SPHEREMEMBRANE-1 CANNOT BE CALCULATED. THE NODAL COORDINATES MAY BE INCORRECT OR THE ASPECT RATIO MAY EXCEED 1000 TO 1.
Thanks,
Feng

If not check your mesh with the mesh tools. You can sometimes mesh a part however the solid elements are basically planar. I hope this helps.
