FE analysis error 2

[nmooney]

I continue getting analysis failed with error MESSAGE 4288 (EQD8D). See attached image. What does this mean? Also what is the design doctor?

Thanks,
Nate Mooney

Help for Modeling does contain a listing of NASTRAN error messages but unfortunately it does not contain the code you posted. It could be that this help information is out of date. However, it does list some common problems that cause the NASTRAN solver to fail so may still be of some value.

Open Help, Help Topics
Under Contents open Documentation for advanced users
Click the Design Analysis link in the right frame.
Click the NASTRAN Error Messages link.If that doesn't help you may have to contact CoCreate Support to find out what the code means.

As John as stated correctly, FE Analysis for CoCreate OneSpace Modeling is an integrated module which uses MSC Nastran software - this provides the ability to export complete "deck" files from FE Analysis to Nastran for more complicated, non-linear FEA studies.

On the topic of the MESSAGE 4288, we fixed this defect for CoCreate OneSpace Modeling 2007, v15.50. And... In version 15.50, we've also added MSC Nastran Design Doctor functionality to check and resolve FEA study error messages.
