However, when I do this, I get an error stating I had surpassed the numerical limit of nodes due to my license and so to go around this I ended up making some areas of the mesh finer than others depending on what I depict as critical regions. The simulation does end up solving however only when I select all 3 faces of the underside of the notch as frictionless supports to represent the belt being wrapped around, I end up getting a reaction force an order of magnitude greater than the applied load in the direction normal to the side faces of the notch which does seem to me that this is an invalid result. When I select only the top side of the notch, I get an error saying the model is under constrained however I had applied all the boundary conditions the instruction pdf mentions. Due to this, I am a bit confused and cannot proceed with finishing the course for this topic as this is my last quiz to solve. It would be much appreciated if assistance could be provided.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/17-01-2025-1737103757-3FacesSelectedSimulation.png\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/17-01-2025-1737103692-SimulationFailure_with1faceselected.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-405368","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27825"],"_bbp_topic_id":["405368"],"_bbp_subscription":["478882","58821"],"_bbp_author_ip":["82.14.152.44"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["405450"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["405450"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-01-17 16:15:28"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["478882","58821"],"_btv_view_count":["328"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"belkaceme-bella-22ucl-ac-uk"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/405368","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\/405368\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=405368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
