RE: Contact/glue analysis
In fact, I have noted that new NX NASTRAN 8.0 (shipped with new FEMAP V10.3) request additional memory to allocate for contact/glue analysis, the same model ran OK with old NX NASTRAN 7.1 (on FEMAP 10.2). I suppose the next version if FEMAP 10.3.1 due for February 2012 (that will ship the new already exsiting version of NX NXASTRAN 8.1) will fix this problem.
The solution is simply: in the window "NASTRAN Executive and Solution Options" enter the value of say 1024 in the field "Solver Memory (MB 0=auto)" and you are done!. If the error persist, simply increase the value to say 2048, not more.
Best regards,
Blas.
