Error Messages

Model Definition Errors/Warnings

The following errors/warnings arise from incorrectly defined FEMGEN data. The interface will attempt to continue processing the model in order to detect as many such errors as possible.

ERROR: CANNOT GET LOADED FACE FOR LOAD Load_name
ERROR: INCOMPATIBLE LOAD/PART TYPE FOR LOAD Load_name
ERROR: INCORRECT ELEMENT VARIANT ON PART Part_name
ERROR: INVALID D.O.F FOR MPC Constraint_name
ERROR: INVALID D.O.F. FOR LOAD Load_name
ERROR: INVALID MATERIAL TYPE FOR MATERIAL Material_name
ERROR: INVALID POINT DEFINITION FOR LOAD Load_name
ERROR: INVALID PROPERTY FOR PART Part_name
ERROR: LOAD TYPE NOT SUPPORTED FOR LOAD Load_name
ERROR: MISSING MATERIAL FOR PART Part_name
ERROR: MISSING PROPERTY FOR PART Part_name
ERROR: NO ELEMENTS ON PART FOR LOAD Load_name
ERROR: NO NODES ON PART FOR CONSTRAINT Constraint_name
ERROR: NO NODES ON PART FOR LOAD Load_name
ERROR: UNEQUAL NODES ON PARTS FOR CONSTRAINT Constraint_name

Precision Errors

The interface attempts to pack all real number values into 8 character fields. Where the interface cannot do this to a reasonable precision it will issue the following errors. It is then up to the user to modify real number data items either in FEMGEN or in the LR.STRAND input file.

ERROR: CANNOT OUTPUT TO DESIRED PRECISION IN DILRST
ERROR: CANNOT OUTPUT TO DESIRED PRECISION IN ETLRST
ERROR: CANNOT OUTPUT TO DESIRED PRECISION IN FOLRST
ERROR: CANNOT OUTPUT TO DESIRED PRECISION IN GRLRST
ERROR: CANNOT OUTPUT TO DESIRED PRECISION IN HYLRST
ERROR: CANNOT OUTPUT TO DESIRED PRECISION IN MALRST
ERROR: CANNOT OUTPUT TO DESIRED PRECISION IN PPLRST
ERROR: CANNOT OUTPUT TO DESIRED PRECISION IN PRLRST

File Errors

The following errors relate to the interface's use of files. They are often an indication that mid-way through the translation process a file has either been closed, deleted, or locked by some external source or via a hardware fault. For the external material and results files an incorrectly defined environment variable can cause the interface to search for files in the wrong area. These errors will cause the interface to terminate immediately.

ERROR: FORTRAN WRITE ERROR ON INPUT FILE CHANNEL Integer
ERROR: UNABLE TO OPEN EXTERNAL MATERIAL FILE Filename
ERROR: UNABLE TO READ EXTERNAL MATERIAL FILE Filename

System Overflow Errors

The following errors can occur with very large models (40,000+ Nodes/Elements). Under such circumstances please consult your local FEMGV distributer in order to increase the interface limits. The interface will terminate immediately.

ERROR: NUMBER OF LOADCASES EXCEEDS LIMIT OF Integer
ERROR: LOADCASE NUMBER EXCEEDS LIMIT OF Integer
ERROR: GROUP ARRAY OVERFLOW IN ETLRST, CURRENT SIZE Integer
ERROR: WORK ARRAY OVERFLOW IN DILRST, CURRENT SIZE Integer
ERROR: WORK ARRAY OVERFLOW IN FOLRST, CURRENT SIZE Integer
ERROR: WORK ARRAY OVERFLOW IN HYLRST, CURRENT SIZE Integer
ERROR: WORK ARRAY OVERFLOW IN MPLRST, CURRENT SIZE Integer
ERROR: WORK ARRAY OVERFLOW IN PRLRST, CURRENT SIZE Integer
