Identifying Location of Instability

My structure is unstable. How can I identify the location of the instability?


Answer:

After the calculation is aborted due to the instability, there will be shown a window with "Calculation Errors and Messages". For each displayed message, you can see a yellow arrow on the screen which will guide you to the location of the instability.

In most cases, the error message contains also a FE mesh node number.

FE mesh nodes can be found also by using the menu "Edit" → "Find via Number".
