error message "slave surface does not exist".

error message "slave surface does not exist".

(OP)
Hi all,

I have a problem trying to launch calculation wih an interaction between a solid part and a composite shell one.

I have the following error message:

"The slave surface assembly__pickedsurf39 does not exist.
The slave surface assembly__pickedsurf40 does not exist.
The slave surface assembly__pickedsurf41 does not exist.
The slave surface assembly__pickedsurf45 does not exist."

The surfaces indicated are those that I picked to define the interaction between the two parts.

Does somebody could help me?

RE: error message "slave surface does not exist".

Check your .inp input file if the surfaces actually exist, maybe you reselected some after changing the assembly? Or you selected them in the part, then moved to assembly and then changed them in part again.

Anyway, I've had this error frequently, usually if I just start over (e.g. delete all surfaces, redefine them, and reassign interactions) it solves itself. If this fails, just check the input file and manually correct the names of your surfaces.
