Analysis run not completing - help?

Can anyone help point me in the right direction after getting this message?

Well... erm... what it says. How is your model constrained? Can you share a screenshot, or better yet attach the model?

Barry,

The technical specifications for your material they are just.

Best Regards.

Denis.

Thanks for your feedback - unfortunately I cant post specific details as the information is classified.

However, I am beginning to think that it may be related to the simplified reps I have setup?

Problem diverted!

Im not too sure if it is a bug or something Ive done?

Basically I had an assembly (1 Housing + 2 Components + 2 Adhesives) with 2 simplified reps. The housing was common to both reps.

I had a succesful run with rep 1, but when trying a run on rep 2 this was where I got the problem?

In the end I got around it by just making a copy of the assembly and having a single rep in each.

Im not convinced the problem has been answered.

I still dont know why I had the problem, other than its link to simplified reps?
