WARNING [4051]: MULTI-BODY SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE OVER-CONSTRAINED. DUPLICATED CONSTRAINTS IGNORED

Cause

When using joint elements in linear analysis, this warning is generated if duplicate constraints are defined by the joint elements.

Analysis Type

Static/dynamic rigid body analysis (multi-body system)

Remedy

Generally if 2 or more master joints are connected to a slave joint of a joint element, the constraints are duplicated.  Modify the joint element to remove such duplicated constraints.
