*ELEMENT with an unlisted TYPE starting with "D" (e.g. DASHPOT2) is read as a 3-node network element: two DASHPOT2 elements run with exit 0 and no damping

PERTURBATION *BUCKLE after a heated step: the base thermal strain enters the buckling load case; the factor is wrong and depends on the load size (exit 0)

*HEAT TRANSFER, *(UN)COUPLED TEMPERATURE-DISPLACEMENT, *VISCO: a blank or zero period (default 1.) prints "step size is negative" and runs with NaN time

Node surface on a *RIGID BODY node of plane elements, even an unused one: ccx adds a z-SPC and stops with "dependent side of a MPC and a SPC"

*MEMBRANE SECTION, COMPOSITE stops on every element, M3D8R and M3D6 included: "Element 1 is not a M3D8R nor a M3D6 membrane element"

*CLOAD / *DLOAD with TIME DELAY: two cards with the same AMPLITUDE and delay on one node DOF or face stop ccx with "different amplitudes in one step"

*KINEMATIC coupling of one DOF without ORIENTATION: the unused reference rotation stops SPOOLES with exit 255 and no message; an identity ORIENTATION solves

*DYNAMIC: a moment (*CLOAD on DOF 4-6) on a beam node stops ccx with exit 255 and no message (NaN in explicit), because the new knot's rotation starts at 0/0

*TIE with the same surface as slave and master: ccx loops forever printing "zero coefficient on the dependent side of an equation" (up to 2.21 an *ERROR)

*NO ANALYSIS step after a solved step: *EL FILE S, E or ENER segfaults, and *NODE FILE U or RF writes freed memory to the .frd with exit 0

*TEMPERATURE with a step-time AMPLITUDE: at most one node is held at its end-of-step value; the others follow the amplitude again in the next step (exit 0)

PERTURBATION *BUCKLE / *FREQUENCY after a *BUCKLE step, or *FREQUENCY after a *MODAL DYNAMIC step, takes that step's displacements as reference state (exit 0)

DASHPOTA in implicit *DYNAMIC ignores the velocity of an end moved by *BOUNDARY (also through an *EQUATION): the free end stays at rest (exit 0)
