Using Marc Mentat and model sections. I keep getting inside out elements when starting my analysis. What would cause this? I ran a small model to try to recreate the error and it worked. Does Marc have a problem renumbering larger models? Thanks.

    Hi Jim,
     
    Sorry to hear you are having issues with your model. I am not aware of any issues or limitations regarding large models with model sections. Can you share the model info (# of elements, # of nodes, element types, etc...) so I can try to recreate the issue?
     
    Are the elements that are being reported as inside out used in a contact? In this case, the elements could be being adjusted if you have stress-free adjustment activated. There could also be an issue if you have an overclosure; the elements could be distorted excessively as marc attempts to resolve the overclosure.
