Theory

Occasionally, the program terminates because the structure is indeterminate. If this happens, it is most likely that the model, or a portion of it, is not sufficiently restrained. In the case of static analyses, you should consider applying additional boundary conditions to the structure. In the case of dynamic analyses, you could either apply additional boundary conditions to the structure or try varying the time stepping or solution parameters, as discussed in the following sections.

Relevant Keywords

*BOUNDARY is used to define boundary conditions.

*TIME is used to define time parameters for an analysis.

*TOLERANCE is used to define the analysis convergence tolerance measure and related data.
