Possible error messages related to the order **** AFFE_CHAR_THER **

Sometimes a thermal calculation command (THER_LINEAIRE, THER_NON_LINE,…) stops with a fatal error when calculating the second elementary members due to the loads defined in the AFFE_CHAR_THER_ * commands.

When the code stops during these basic calculations, an important piece of information in the error message is the name of the calculation option requested by the code. The name of this option is generally unknown to the user and it is therefore difficult for the user to understand the message.

In the table below, facing each other the names of the calculation options, we give the name of the command and the keyword factor that enable this option to be activated.
