DOF LIMIT EXCEEDED ERROR 1

[januszs]

Have built a model of pressure vessel supported on skirt.
Loads are internal pressure and forces on nozzles.
Bottom of skirt is fixed (all DOF=0).
When trying run analysis an error DOF LIMIT EXCEEDED appears and program terminates.
What to do to fix the problem?

I believe that you have a Educational Release of ANSYS, isn't it?

You can try with Numering Controls, Compress, etc.

Good Luck

I have received this message before. It is usually caused by the mesh being too fine. (I, too, am using the educational version) Try making the mesh coarser with larger element size.
