Question:
When using AutoPIPE to generate a report the following message appears:
Error
--------------------------------------------------
E652-100 Unable to create report, too many modes..
--------------------------------------------------
Ok
Why and how to avoid?
Answer:
The clue to resolving this issue is based on the message itself "too many modes". This would be directly related to number of modes generated from performing a modal analysis. AutoPIPE has a threshold for the number of modes that can be printed in a report by one model. Once the threshold is reached the above message is given.
How to get avoid this message?
There are 3 suggestions to avoiding this message.
-
-
- Change the modal analysis settings such to the program calculates fewer modes
- Change the number of mass points per span to use fewer points.
- Remove part of the model such that fewer modes are calculated. First, consider analyzing disconnected piping in separate models. Or break the model into a smaller system at full anchor node points.
-
One or more of these suggestions should lower the total number of modes calculated such that a report can be printed.
