Error in model

Post by mawajed »

Hello
Can anyone tell what is the meaning of this error
" Floating point error computing - spread through contact - at time = 6.000000"
I am trying to run my model but this does not work

Thank you

Often it is because of a divide by zero. Is this the case in your model?

Have a look at the equation for "spread through contact". If it has a division, check that it is not zero.
