Yes there is a contact constraint between the frame and panels & nothing strange shows up with review geometry.

Re: Parts on top of fasteners
I have run into a similar issue where another part touches the head of a Mechanica fastener and fails.As far as I know if you need a part to touch a fastener you will need to fully model the fastener...

Well, I had to switch servers (we are using Intralink) to work on a different project, and when I got back to my analysis the results display was working again. Just a software glitch, I guess.

Perhaps is something to do with the annular surface region that is created to connect the fastener element via weighted links? Adding your extra parts over the top covers this over and may upset this...

Did you confirm the run settings are pointing the the right location? This is the usual reason results get 'lost'.

Just can't rely on results. Going to have to simply use spreadsheets (which is terrible... but reliable). I've had various problems over the years so yesterday I sat down and rely analyzed things. Have...

Interesting observation and certainly worth reporting as a customer service case. There has to be an explanation. Just out of curiosity, are there interferences between the parts?How do you account...

The PTC customer support rep figured out what was going on... and an acceptable (I think) work around. For the masses of "fully assigned" components to properly roll-up (and sum up) to next level...

This is indeed critical knowledge for those of us who use these properties. How do you: For the masses of "fully assigned" components to properly roll-up (and sum up) to next level assemblies you MUST...

Hi Chauncey, Could you please file a case with Technical Support if you have not already done so (if you have, could you let me know the case id ?). I'm guessing such corruption may point to an issue...

You can literally type the values in the fields. I had been using 1 [for density] and 1 [for volume] for all objects regardless of the mass I had wanted to "roll-up" to next levels. The "mass field"...

Right, these names should not be a problem. I can't run A130717_1856_OPT2 because some of the shells are not part of the 2D model definition. Made a number of edits to resolve this, but didn't...
