abaqus system error code 1073740940

My model with about 300,000 mesh elements run into an error after a little while of job starting, with the system error code 1073740940. It worked after I reduced the number of elements to about 150,000 with remesh. I am not sure whether this is a computer performance related problem. It’s worth a try when running into this type of error.

Surface based COHESIVE BEHAVIOR cannot be used for contact pair interactions.

Surface-based cohesive behavior 用于模拟 bonded interface。 但是它不用用于 Surface to Surface Interaction. 否则会遇到错误提示,”Surface based COHESIVE BEHAVIOR cannot be used for contact pair interactions. See the surface iteraction named INTPROP-1.”

cohesive behavior contact interaction

Typically, Abaqus has two methods for simulating the bonded interface behavior between two entities. One is Cohesive Elements, and another is Surface-based cohesive behavior. When thickness of the interface is negligible, surface-based cohesive method is recommended for its convenience and effectiveness.

boundary conditions reference regions which contains geometric entities that are not associated with a mesh

When using Bottom-up Mesh in Abaqus, sometimes an error message of “boundary conditions reference regions which contains geometric entities that are not associated with a mesh” may pop up after submit the job. One of my colleague suggested following tip to solve it.
