Model Building Error

Post by aahashib »

Hi everyone!

I am getting this error after model building. Can anyone please let me know why this error happens? Does this comes from gravity load definition?

Warning BandGenLinLapackSolver: :solve() - LAPACK routine returned 5
Warning Newton Raphson: :solveCurrentStep() -the LinearSysOfEqn failed in solve()
StaticAnalysis: :analyze() - the Algorithm failed at iteration: 0 with domain at load factor 0.1


Thanks
Abdullah

check your boundary conditions and look for hanging nodes (nodes without elements framing into them)
