I've got a couple of steel framework "boxes" that are bolted together.
They are loaded "cantilever-like", with one box fixed and the other with
a load on top. The "boxes" are bolted together with 6 bolts. I set up
the Mechanica study with the constraints and loads as described. I used
the advanced fastener function, identically, for the six bolts. The
mating holes are aligned identical in size. When ever I try to run a
static solution, I receive the following failure in the report file,
right after it states that 8300 elements were automatically created and
that there were no errors found in the model:
Convergence Loop Log: (12:32:33)
>> Pass 1 <<
The design study terminated abnormally.
An internal engine error has occurred. Please be sure
to run error checking before you run this study. If
you have run error checking, then contact Customer Support.
