your system is not fully constrained.

check your model and the boundary conditions and the connections

Hello everyone
I have a question which is related to this error.
Is it possible that after some step(after earthquake subjection) the system looses its constraint?

the model looses it's constarint if you tell it to remove a constraint!

otherwise, if you get the error during the analysis it means that the solver is failing due to ill-conditioning, being unstable, or no longer being symmetric positive definite if you are using a spd solver.
