PrePoMax throws the errors:

That’s a prepomax issue, you should ask in prepomax forum. Probably an unsupported feature that can still be handled via the calculix keyword editor inside prepomax. Check that no error is casted by running the inp file directly in ccx to confirm is not a ccx error.

Thanks :+1: Let me double-check with CCX and CGX themselves.

If you imported the input file to PrePoMax, you should be aware that .inp importer in this software is not working as well as the exporter - it doesn’t support some keyword configurations even when the features themselves are supported in GUI.

That’s right. I run the INP file by CCX and there is no error among the CCX logs:
