Hi i have problems simulating this cylindrical vessel, am having a non positive jacobian error and i could not find the solution to my problem in the forum
Am using the axisymmetric for this simulation, sorry if the solution is obvious ![]()

In axisymmetric models, all faces must lie to the right of the Y axis. That’s most likely why the left part of your geometry has this error.
If you want to simulate a complete vessel, rotate it so that Y axis is the axis of symmetry - that’s what CalculiX expects.
Also, you should refine the mesh significantly.
Thanks so muchhhhh i will try!!
