Divergence error

Post by Omar Shahim » Fri Mar 10, 2023 6:02 am

Hello,

I have tried to run the simulation in abaqus but I get an error around increment 5500: ***NOTE: THE SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE DIVERGING. CONVERGENCE IS JUDGED UNLIKELY.


***ERROR: TIME INCREMENT REQUIRED IS LESS THAN THE MINIMUM SPECIFIED

ASYNCHRONOUS TRACKING ELEMENT LOOP STARTED


***ERROR: THE ANALYSIS HAS BEEN TERMINATED DUE TO PREVIOUS ERRORS. ALL OUTPUT
REQUESTS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN FOR THE LAST CONVERGED INCREMENT.

I have already tried to adjust increment time and also to change master and slave elements/stiffness (however I did not succeed at doing this). Can you maybe help me?
