Problem Description

The error "Wrong number of DOFs in linearization point" occurs.

Solution

The current solution or the stored solution has for some reason the wrong number of degrees of freedom, sometimes due to a change of the implementation of elements between two versions of the software. To overcome this problem, check the settings for the values of variables not solved for in the Values of Dependent Variables section of the study step's Settings window, and set the method to use an initial expression or a zero solution.
