ForceBeamColumn2d::update()--could not invert flexibility

Post by enginer »

Hi,I am a new user. I am using the following code
wipe;
puts "system"
model basic -ndm 3 -ndf 6
puts "restraint"
if {[file exists output]==0} {
file mkdir output;
}

This is my code.However, it results in error as "ForceBeamColumn2d::update()--could not invert flexibility".
Please help with this.

You likely have a singular section stiffness matrix. Check your modeling approach with a simple model.
