I am getting an error on Dytran relating to converting a token in to an integer, for a SET1 used in a contact. Are there any quick debugs I could try?

Hi Rhys, could you show the SET1 list of the contact card from the DAT file to check? Sometimes it is related to using an element list, but the elements do not belong to a property set. Patran does not write out elements into the Dytran DAT/BDF files that do not have properties associated with them, but it would still write out those elements in contact/LBC sets which bring similar errors.

It will take some time, but I may be able to show you the list from the DAT file. My suspicion is that the contact sets have written out, but some of the elements used for that contact set have not. This is also causing me some errors later on, as removing the SET1's as a check hgas produced problems with SURFACE1's etc. Would it be better to just try and recreate the DAT and BDF files?

I am also now getting an error of illegal keywords 'SLAVE' and 'ADAPTIVE' appearing, although neither words appear in any of my text files (DAT, BDF etc.). Is there any reason for this?

I would look at rewriting the deck in Patran, but use the Utility: Groups: Group elements with no properties, to see if there are any problems with this. Then you can reapply the contact application regions to make sure the data is written into the database.

I'll give that a go. I inherited the database, bdf and deck from someone else, but it looks like what you said originally may have happened. I have found some elements in the model which have no properties assigned, so I'll fix them and re-write the deck out. Thank you for all the assistance.
