ERROR [2101]: 1D ELEMENT LENGTH IS ZERO IN ELEMENT ID=#

Cause

This error is generated when the initial length or the length after deformation of an 1D element (Rod, Bar, Pipe) is 0.  It can be generated when the length of an 1D element is defined as 0.  However, the error  mostly occurs when a 1D element deforms to a length becoming 0 during the analysis.

Remedy

If the initial length is 0, search for the problematic element for modification.  If the deformed length is 0, modify either the analysis conditions or the analysis model.
