Guys, I'm trying to run a case in cfx, but the next problem was reported:

* ERROR # 002100012 has occurred in subroutine cVolSec. |
* | Message: |
* | A negative ELEMENT volume Has Been detected. This is a fatal |
* | Error and execution will be terminated. The location of the first |
* | Reported negative volume is below. |
* | Volume:-0.1504E-09 |
* | Location: (0.17198E +02,-0.96809E +00, +01 0.16941E)

how can I solve this problem??

which software did you use? cfx mesh? icem?

you have some negative vol. elements and have to fix them

check your det 2x2 or det 3x3 to find the negative cells. i don't know, if you use tets or hexa. if you use a blocking approach, then check your associations (rmb on edge/show association) or use a scan plane.
