ANSYS error

Submitted by Hamid Keshavarzi on

Hi everyone

I face a problem with ANSYS buckling analysis.



I’m going to obtain the buckling load factor of an in-plane shear-loaded simply supported rectangular plate. I consider all boundaries to be restricted for out of plane displacement only.



When I try to solve the problem, ANSYS announce an error like “a small negative equation solver pivot term has encountered at the UX degree freedom of … node”



I have this question; is this problem occurring due to rigid body motion or not? How can I fix it?



All the best,

Hamid
