USER FATAL MESSAGE 4690 (CNREAD)

[Guncici]

Hello All,

I have come across a new error message as I am trying to run my model.

*** USER FATAL MESSAGE 4690 (CNREAD)
NON-UNIQUE REGION ID FOUND. REGIONS IDS IN CONTACT AND GLUE SHOULD
BE UNIQUE BETWEEN BSURF, BSURFS, BCPROP, BCPROPS AND BLSEG ENTRIES.

I have looked over my connections, surfaces, & etc... and I cannot find duplicate IDs.

A bit of background: I am analyzing a beam structure and it runs wonderfully, then I was asked to analyze the base/foundation (this is the part that has the weld) and it also runs like a champ. When I incorporate the 2 files (using a Neutral file) and try to run it blows up. Things I did to each file before I merged them: Renumberd all properties, materials, Elements, and Nodes; I also combined the two models with use of RBE2s to go from a Beam model to a plate model (no where near the welds).


Cheers,

Joe S.

For those of you interested there was a conflict between the region ID numbers of the Contacts and slide lines, so I renumbered the contact regions and the analysis ran fine.
