Error in fixed-fixed beam buckling analysis

Hello sir,
While I am doing buckling analysis of fixed-fixed beam, during computation the following error occurs, "Eigen solver 1: The mass matrix is zero". I have applied axial compressive load by using two boundary load at the fixed-fixed end.
Please help me out in this issue. I have also shared the .mph file.

If your boundary conditions are fixed-fixed, the object cannot deform. A load applied to a fixed constraint is ignored. My guess is that you want to model a situation where there is a fixed constraint in one end, and a guided no-rotation support in the other end. There are several ways to accomplish that, for example
- By using a roller condition instead of a fixed constraint.
- By replacing the fixed constraint with a rigid connector with appropriate constraints and loads
- By modeling half of the structure, and use symmetry conditions.
