Reply To: Error running Bolted Pressure Vessel model

[Daniel Miano]

 

I removed part of the vessel and changed the fixed support to the surface around the green circle in the image below. Now the total nodes + elements = 114,991 and I get the same error.

Then I changed the element size to 0.7mm and now the nodes = 36,635 / elements =  8,162. This model runs, but I had to increase the element size larger than the tutorial instructions (0.5mm)
