We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi

See what pivot error is:

https://featips.com/2023/01/30/ansys-solver-pivot-warnings-what-are-they-and-waht-to-do-about-them/

and the message you show as that explains the reason (material, constraints, etc.)

Most likely shared topology related (som members are not connected). You can check which parts by doing a modal analysis and see for rigid body modes.

 

See this video on how to do that (shared topology/connect parts):

Also this shows how to do this properly:

All the best
