Error from ploting and recording

[jskim]

Hi, I recently started to use the FEAP, and I'm trying to solve the 2D indentation problem.
When I run some examples which has plot command, the FEAP graphics window is opened and nothing happens! From here, I just found a posting that someon suffered from the same problem, but there is no answer for me.

1)
So, when I run the FEAP with plot command, these commands are shown.

FEAP-X11 called, op_code = 1
gdx11_init_device: Inform : X Display opened

If I turned this widow off, then

XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server "localhost:10.0"
      after 15 requests (15 known processed) with 74 events remaining.

this command is printed.

How can I fix this problem? Is there anyone who suffered from this problem?

2)
Another question is about the ouput of contact problem. When I run very simple input file, some error is printed after getting nodes and elements infromation.

 *ERROR* ENDCLR: End of file encountered in PCONTR
         Unit Number =  15

I thinsk it is from the error of my input file, but I can't find which part is wrong. Please check my input file and give me some help.

Thank you for your reading and have a nice day

I can answer your second question:

You need to add a solution option (BATch or INTEractive).  I suggest the latter so you can check the mesh validity.

From what I see there are a couple of problems

1. I suggest you put symmetry boundaries on the left (fix horizontal direction)

2. The top block is singular, there are no vertical boundary conditions.  The contact may restrain the nodes at the bottom of the wedge, but probably putting displacements at the top and then moving the would be safer.

3. Somehow you need to tie the nodes at the bottom of the wedge so they all have the same DOFs.  One option is to use REGIons.
Before each BLOCk put REGIon 1 and then REGIon 2.  Then after the mesh is finished add TIE REGION 2 2 (if the triangular block is region 2).

The plot issue is hard to diagnose.  Maybe the wrong library was loaded (32 bit instead of 64 bit??).
