TABLE 2-4: ASSEMBLY AND EXTENDED MESH ERROR MESSAGES
ERROR NUMBER ERROR MESSAGE EXPLANATION
6008 Circular variable dependency detected A variable has been defined in terms of
itself, possibly in a circular chain of
expression variables. Make sure that variable
definitions are sound. Be cautious with
equation variables in equations.
6063 Invalid degree of freedom name The software does not recognize the name
of a degree of freedom. Check the names of
dependent variables that you have entered
for the model. See also Error 7192.
6139 Wrong number of DOFs in initial value The current solution or the stored solution
has for some reason the wrong number of
degrees of freedom, sometimes due to a
change of the implementation of elements
between two versions of the software. To
overcome the problem, go to the Initial
value area in the Solver Manager, and select
Initial value expression. Then the initial
value expressions is evaluated without using
the current or stored solution.
6140 Wrong number of dofs in linearization point The current solution or the stored solution
has for some reason the wrong number of
degrees of freedom, sometimes due to a
change of the implementation of elements
between two versions of the software. To
overcome the problem, go to the Value of
variables not solved for and linearization
point area in the Solver Manager, and click
the Use setting from Initial value frame
button or the Zero button.
6163 Divide by zero A property in the model contains a divisor
that becomes zero. Check to make sure that
division by zero does not occur in any
expression or coefficient.
6164 Duplicate variable name A variable name has two different
definitions. For instance, the same variable
name appears two or more times for a
dependent variable, a constant, an
expression variable, or a coupling variable.
Remove or rename one of the variables.
