Hi everyone-

I am working on a FEM in NX Ideas 5 and need to move it to Ansys 11.0 classic for the customer, when I use the export Ansys feature in Ideas everything seems to go fine with bringing the model in to Ansys until I go to solve the model. I then get the following error:

"Constraint equation 1 has unused node 597172"

This is repeated many times for different master nodes and for your info node 597172 is the master node of this constraint element and joins a rigid bar with the constraint element. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
