Hello everyone,

I've been trying to work on the analysis of a tennis racket when it comes to contact with a tennis ball. So far I've been able to generate the mesh of an acceptable size (although it would be better if I could reduce the number of elements a bit), and the with the initial conditions given, Ansys was actually able to solve my problem. However, when trying to evaluate the result like getting the total deformation of the model, this error always pops up. I've tried to simplify the model and make sure there's no interference happening between components (with interference inspection in fusion 360, that's also where the model was drawn). 

Here's a picture of my mechanical window, I'm pretty new to Ansys, Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Best Regards.

I don't think ANSYS successfully solved your model. What did the Solution Information window show at the end of the solution?

Hi Peter, 

Thank you so much for your reply

Here's my Solution Information window))

Have you run a simple model so you know what a successful run looks like?

Do that and you will see that after the text you show, there is a License Acquired! line then a whole lot of Cycle lines as the solver runs. This model is not showing any of those.

As a debugging exercise, please run a simple model so you know what a successful run looks like and we can confirm that your computer is properly configured to run Explicit Dynamics.

I have tried Explicit Dynamics on a simpler model, and the result can be computed. This problem also occurred on more than one of my computers, so I think the problem is with the model, though I really don't know what that is.
