Hi,

I am modeling a MPC-Tie type connector. The connector section is applied to a wire feature that connect two points in a model. The reason why the MPC is defined as a connector and not a constraint is to have the flexibility to turn the wire on/off during solution resulting in connection turned on/off as needed. However, I get the error shown in the image below when I try to run the solution. The part is dependent and has mesh. The two nodes getting connected belong to two separate disjointed sections in the same part. Any idea why this is happening? 

The cae file can be found at the link below. The file can be opened in Abaqus v2024 or higher. 

cae file v2024 or higher

Thanks in advance.

The error basically says there is no mesh present. In case the image does not come through.
