Hello,
I am looking for an advice on how to apply a load on 2 nodes of 2D FE if it's possible.
When I make a group of two nodes as a loadpoints in Mesh (using SALOME 3.2.2v) and then choose a GROUP_MA of those two loadpoints in AFFE_CHAR_MECA of EFFICAS, the solver fails. An error message says:
LE GROUP_MA Loadpoint NE FAIT PAS PARTIE DU. I don't understand it as my French is really poor.
I'd be very thankfull if someone gave me an advice on how to do that.

Thanks in advance,
Vito<br><br>Post edited by: vito, at: 2007/08/30 12:20

Hello,

the problems comes from the fact that you created a Group of Nodes (GROUP_NO ins the Aster terminology) and you used it in a GROUP_MA (group of elements) option.
The solution is simply to delete the GROUP_MA selection of your command in Eficas and to create instead a GROUP_NO selection with the name of your group of nodes: Loadpoints.

This should solve your problem.

PS: the error message means that the group of elements Loadpoints does not exist in the mesh

Ciao Vito,
moreover please respect that names in Code-Aster must not be longer than 8 characters. You can name Your group of nodes \&quot;Loadpoin\&quot; but not \&quot;Loadpoints\&quot;
