Hi!

I have problem, when I click on results after simulation it gives me the error 'no results are found'. I checked .F06 and I found that fatal message: 'QUAD4 ELEMENT WITH ID = 3446
HAS AN INTERIOR ANGLE POSSIBLY GREATER THAN OR EQUAL 180 DEGREES' What i should do to get results? Please help me
 
Seems like you have a highly distorted element in the mesh. Find out where the element with ID = 3446 is located and remesh that area with a finer mesh, then re-run the analysis.
 
This message means that the (internal) angle made by three subsequent nodes along the element nodal order is more than 180 degrees.
It is a bad element and it happens time to time, delete it and re-position the nodes to get a better element quality there. Ideally you want all internal angles 90 deg, and a square element in a perfect world.

Stressing Stresslessly!
