To do so, I&#8217;ve used a pressure load and divided the magnitude of the load by the surface area of the rod, highlighted in red, and used that as the magnitude of the pressure.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>While I was able to get the solver to output a solution when the only conditions present were a compression only support and the pressure on the rods, I added a moment to the solver and now it isn&#8217;t returning anything. My mesh size is 2 inches, so I&#8217;m not sure if the error is due to that or if I&#8217;m overlooking something else.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/9ea83d47-dcc7-4cfc-94b1-a9a10188ffdd\/78859267-d977-4d17-883e-aa00002618c8_ansys-error.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Any ideas how to fix this?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>EDIT: Received this error on the version that only had pressure.
