What is NLMAX in nastran?
(OP)
Hi,
When I wanted to run sol 109 direct transient analysis in nx nastran the message showing that 'during detection of massless mechanism the number of singularities found 6435 which is greater than NLMAX 60, increase the value NLMAX.' in solution monitor. However I got the solution file but my doubt is that was the results are correct? Please clarify my doubt.

The number of suspected massless mechanisms is determined from the number of high ratio messages. If this number exceeds NLMAX, the number of trial massless mechanisms is reduced to NLMAX. This is a means to avoid an expensive run when there may be thousands of massless mechanisms due to modeling errors. The value of this parameter may be increased on initial runs where it is possible that there are many high ratio DOFs in order to see them all at once
so there is a good chance that errors exist in the model and therefore one would be "highly" suspicious of any results obtained.

If not, if you explain a little your model we can think about it.
