Using PARTition command with 8 degrees of freedom in a coupled system

[hamza]

Hi,
I have a coupled system with 5 mechanical degrees of freedom and 3 degrees of freedom for the fluid part. I want to uncouple this system and solve the mechanical system alone. I am using the PARTition command the following way:

PARTition
0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0

and before solving I use the following command:

part,,2

When I do I get the following warning and error:
*WARNING* Length allocation for: TEMP2 LENGTH = 0
malloc() memory corruption

Any help regarding this matter is appreciated.

Looks ok.  Did you check the output file to see that the PART command is being read correctly?  Did you place it after the end of the mesh as a mesh manipulation command?

Thank you for your reply. I figured out my mistake. I had placed it after the INITial DISPlacement command. I put it before that and it works fine now.
