"Node number 0 is not defined" when running EXTR in SofimshA

[netsonic_Sofistik]

When performing EXTR in SofimshA to extrude 2 SARs to 2 BRIC groups,

+PROG	SofimshA
HEAD
SYST	REST
GRP	50
BRIC	MNO	12
EXTR	TYPE	FROM	TO	PATH	V1	V2	V3	DIV
	SAR	SAR	1	DIR	0	0	2	2
GRP	60
BRIC	MNO	11
EXTR	TYPE	FROM	TO	PATH	V1	V2	V3	DIV
	SAR	SAR	2	DIR	0	0	5	5

it shows error

+++++ error no. 2011 in program NR_CHK_BRIC ; input line: 8
Node number 0 is not defined
+++++ error no. 2011 in program NR_CHK_BRIC ; input line: 13
Node number 0 is not defined

Although it shows error, it DOES create bric.

How to avoid this error?

Hello

In case of an unknown error message I always follow the same first steps.

1. I look at the correspondent Report Browser file.
   If you open the report of the SOFiMSHA run you can see that the command in line 8 (BRIC) is not defined correctly.
   
   
2. Next, look up the misapplied command in its manual.
   Here you can see that the BRICK command requires an input for the element number. If the number is not specified, the program will automatically dial the first number in the group. So in your case the node number is 0, which is not defined.
   As you see in the manual, you can predefine the properties of an element with the amendment “prop”.

So your code should be:

+PROG sofimsha urs:3
HEAD
SYST REST

GRP 50
BRIC prop MNO 12
extr type sar from sar to 1 path dir v1 0 0 2 div 2

GRP 60
BRIC prop MNO 11
extr type sar from sar to 2 path dir v1 0 0 5 div 5

end
