Dear Peteroznewman,

Since i went for shared topology, to overcome the “insufficient support” issues. But it seems the said method is not giving 100% result. So, i removed shared topology fully and i took the following steps.

 

  1. Meshed the FE model using Global and Local meshing.
  2. Checked the Initial Contact results.
  3. Found two set of components having “Far open” status as per contact results, then those i have connected with “fixed joint”.
  4. Run the complete FE model- thermal followed by static structural.
  5. I surprised to see the new error showing a signle node on “support” having “insufficient support”. Further, modal analysis results  did not highlight this component as a loose part. I could not understand why this conflict result in workbench.
  6. The solution process is terminating at 87% of structural run with the below error. 
  7. Please guide. Also i am not much fimilair to ” node merging “. Kindly eleborate. Thank you for your help.
