Q) I run a large LS-DYNA model and get the following error from the solver:
*** Error - Input error found -
*** Error reading 20th control card

A) The "20th control card" is based on structured rather than keyword input. If the following line is added:
*CONTROL_STRUCTURED_TERM
in the keyword file, that will output the structured input file as "dyna.str" then terminate the LS-DYNA solver run.

From the resulting "dyna.str" structured file, you may see the following lines:
$ control card 20 TAURUS DATABASE CONTROL I
$ pltc frcint prtc ndth nsth nstb nsts nstt lc1 lc2 lc3 sst
1.500E-06 0.000E+00 2.143E-07********** 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Per the LS-DYNA Sturctured Manual, the "ndth" and "nsth" are numbers of nodal and hex time history blocks. The number of requested nodes/elements is too large (**** instead of numbers being displayed). Reducing the number of nodes/elements for the output request, then rerun the solution.
