RE: identifying the element/connection with grid id
Remedy:
You need to search thro' your model for the grid 4197379 and locate those multiple rigid/mpc elements which share the same grid id as a dependent node at d.o.f 1, and manually correct them to make sure that there is only one rigid/mpc element which refers to grid 4197379 at dof 1 as a dependent grid.
OR:
Use param,automset,yes entry in your bulk data section of the input file and allow nastran to internally repair the global m-set.
