Hi Paul,

 

I am also getting something similar, however it is referring to many elements with

 a "BC fail" and then gives the E INVALID BC FOUND. I have attached the case

and output log for referrence.

 

I checked the elements that it is referring to and the BC's are good, so I'm not sure

why it tells me this. I looked in fast3d.f and also couldn't figure out what "ierr and ierrmx"

refer to. Could explain what this error means or what it is checking for? Thanks

for any help!

 

- Michael

Shriram,

It's indicating that one of the bcs for element 3912 is not valid.

What are those?

Paul
