Topic: Error when using a construction case.

Dear Mr. Pryl,

I'm trying to include a construction case in my beam model as follow:
first, we have the beam externally reinforced with GFRP and in next step I
do not have this GFRP macroelement. The thing is if the connection between
the two elements (concrete ans GFRP) is defined as perfect conection I
don't obtain any error but if I define, as I wish, an contact law between
those macroelements, I get the follow error message: "CCFEModelGenerateExc:
Incompatible number of principal nodes (internal) 0 and macroelement type
in macroelement macro element id: 738197509, name:
MacroElementContact_738197509 type: CCExtrudeElementSelection."

Can you help me on this?

Thank you in advance.

Best wishes,
Biscaia

PS: I allready sent you an email to your direct contact with the .cc3 file attached.

Dear Mr. Pryl,

I follow your wise advice and... it worked!!!
In fact, the results that I obtained with ATENA are very similar to the experiment results. smile

Thank you very much.

Re: Error when using a construction case.

Hello,

Having the same problem (with ATENA 4.1.4) is it possible to share that wise advice here?

Regards.

Re: Error when using a construction case.

Hello, please install the current ATENA version, 5.0.2e, and if the problem persists, send us your model etc. (see ATENA Troubleshooting, 2.1.1 I have a problem not listed here for instructions).

If you do not have valid maintenance, you can install the latest version available to you (e.g., 4.3.1g) and check if it already fixes your problems while going through the process or renewing your ATENA maintenance.
