What&#8217;s more Ansys seems to see the connections beetween components even though I indicated them. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I have used mesh size = 5mm and mesh numbering to reduce number of nodes.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During an analysis this warning showed up: At least one body has been found to have only 1 element in at least 2 directions along with reduced integration. &nbsp;This situation can lead to invalid results or solver pivot errors. &nbsp;Consider changing to full integration element control or meshing with more elements. &nbsp;Offending bodies can be identified by Right-clicking in the Geometry window and choose Go To -&gt; Bodies With One Element Through the Thickness. &nbsp;Refer to Troubleshooting in the Help System for more details.&lt;br&gt;Error: An unknown error occurred during solution. &nbsp;Check the Solver Output on the Solution Information object for possible causes.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does anybody know solve this problem ? Cause I don&#8217;t have any idea how to find this Go To -&gt; Bodies With One Element Through the Thickness. Or maybe the elements of the car jack are to big and I need to minimize them.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/20-11-2024-1732091678-20241120_093327.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/20-11-2024-1732091725-20241120_093414.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-394451","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["21030","58821","431745"],"_bbp_author_ip":["185.48.129.84"],"_btv_view_count":["3293"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["394451"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["21030","58821","431745"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["29"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["394744"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["394744"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-11-21 11:52:31"]},"test":"kubatycjaninteria-pl"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/394451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/394451\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=394451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
