*ERROR in cascade for *BOUNDARY on rotated rectangular beam with 3 DOFs constrained. #40

This file with a rectangular beam at a funny angle fails with

*ERROR in cascade: zero coefficient on the dependent side of an equation dependent node: 5 direction: 3

It's not fixed by my bugfix (https://github.com/Dhondtguido/CalculiX/pull/39) for the similar issue https://github.com/Dhondtguido/CalculiX/issues/37

Hi Victor, thanks for the many hints and solution proposals. In this case,however, the beam can freely translate and the solution is indeterminate. I would like to concentrate on the example in which all dofs from 1 to 6 were restrained. Best,

Guido
