Hello,

After the recent update to the academic platform on July 20th, all of my FEAs started giving errors during the pre-processing stage. I've attached a screenshot with a part that is connected to ground (issue also present when making a connection between two parts).

From testing, it seems that I am unable to use a remote force/torque and connections at the same time. The following errors disappear when I either deactivate the remote force or the connection.

I believe this is a bug because, from testing, this same file works on a pre-updated version.

The following was in the log file:
Abaqus Error: Analysis Input File Processor exited with an error - Please see the 
22aee01d_12f80_66a9eee8_19590.dat file for possible error messages if the file exists.
Exception: (class 'driverExceptions.AbaqusExecutionError', AbaqusExecutionError('Analysis Input File Processor', 1, '22aee01d_12f80_66a9eee8_19590'), )

(22aee01d_12f80_66a9eee8_19590.dat wasn't present in my temp folder)
 

Problematic set up:

Remote force applied to top face, reference point input being set to "specify." Fixed displacement at the bottom face

When I deactivate the remote force and use a regular force instead, the simulation check passes without errors:

Tagging as per request.
