"Illegal floating point operation"

"Illegal floating point operation"

"Illegal floating point operation"

(OP)
I've received this error a few times today, and can't really figure out what it is, what it means, and how to work around it. Does anyone have any thoughts?

RE: "Illegal floating point operation"

Dear curlyq,
            try tiping all your variables (or formula fields) with one decimal number (for example 1.0, 2.0). Best regards,

Sebastian

RE: "Illegal floating point operation"

This is a software problem, you should contact Abaqus support.

RE: "Illegal floating point operation"

(OP)
I'll have to dig around on this one some more. So it's an ABAQUS problem and not mine? That's slightly reassuring. However, I only seem to get it when I am doing a 3D model, not when I am running either 2D or axisymmetric. I'll see about all of my variables and cross my fingers that it works.

RE: "Illegal floating point operation"

You should send the troublesome model to Simulia anyway.

RE: "Illegal floating point operation"

Are you using a User Subroutine?

RE: "Illegal floating point operation"

(OP)
I am not using a user subroutine, but may have to for my material model - that will be a different question though.

Interestingly enough, I attempted to run the exact same model only in 2D instead of 3D, and everything worked. However, the 3D model is on a Unix server while the 2D is on a Windows machine. No word from Simulia.
