constraint controls, no checks

constraint controls, no checks

(OP)
Hello everyone,

I am trying to model a quarter RVE UD composite and calculate it's efective properties
Due to the tie constraint i use for the interface plus the axisymetric contrains in the three faces of the cube i get an overconstraint warning when i run the model which however doesnt affect the solution, but when i increase the mesh i get this warning message:
VERCONSTRAINT CHECKS: THERE ARE 21195 BOUNDARY CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS MODEL. OVERCONSTRAINT CHECKS FOR BOUNDARY CONDITIONS SPECIFIED ON SLAVE NODES OF RIGID BODIES, OF *TIE OPTIONS, OR OF *COUPLING OPTIONS REQUIRE 8 Mb OF MEMORY. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM, PLEASE TURN OFF OVERCONSTRAINT CHECKS USING *CONSTRAINT CONTROLS, NO CHECKS or INCREASE THE MEMORY USED BY THE PRE-PROCESSOR.

I need to disable constrain controls graficaly however because i need the .jnl file with all the comands to build a python script for parameterization can anyone help me find where this option is?

Thanks in advance

Why don't you take out the regions that are overconstraint from the tie or boundary?

Because i need to define the nodesets by geometry so they remain when i change the mesh through python script

RE: constraint controls, no checks

You can select a face and deselect edges of that face with ctrl+leftclick.
With that is is easily possible to avoid overconstraints.

Ok thanks a lot that worked out, i was under the impresion that excluding edges is only posible when its TYPE: NODE
