  Hey guys , just having a problem in solving a Baja chassis in Static Sturctural. Mesh is generated but the following error keep coming up. I have solved similar structures in the same devicie without any problem .
  
  Have attached the solution information. Thanks in advance.

  The error is found in the file.
```
 *** ERROR ***                           CP =      16.875   TIME= 19:56:26

The normal of target element 353259 is not consistent with the normal

of target element 353260 in real set 251.  Please use the ENORM

command to correct it.



*** ERROR ***                           CP =      17.328   TIME= 19:56:26

The normal of contact element 353090 is not consistent with the normal

of contact element 353091 in real set 252.  Please use the ENORM

command to correct it.
```
  You could create a Named Selection using the Worksheet to find these two pair of elements.
  
  It could be that the wrong side of a face was picked in the contact definition.
  
  It may be possible to flip the face normal in a CAD system.
  
  Or you could figure out how to use the ENORM command.
