Having a problem trying to mesh a single curved beam. View hardware by hovering over my avatar. I'm running SW 2010 SP5 on Windows 7. Graphics card is Nvidia Quadro FX 1700, using recommended driver for HP XW 4600 machine, 8 GB RAM. I have reinstalled the graphics card driver.

Here is the error message that occurs when trying to mesh a single curved beam:

The meash details state the beam mesh has 158 elements. After running the study I get this message:

No FEA plots are created.

I am able to open a pre-existing model containing a curved beam and mesh the model, or change a beam and mesh the model.
