25.2.29. One or More Parts May Be Underconstrained

...and experiencing rigid body motion.

This message may occur for one of several reasons: If the program detects that the model may be underconstrained, weak springs will be added to the finite element model to help obtain a solution. In addition, the program will automatically add weak springs if unstable contact (frictionless, no separation, rough) or compression only supports are active in order to make the problem more numerically stable. Since the weak springs have a low stiffness relative to the model stiffness, they will not have an effect on a properly constrained model. If you are confident that weak springs are not needed for a solution and the program adds them anyway, you may disable them by setting the Weak Springs option to Off in the Details view of the Analysis Settings object.
