    SOL 106- not converging

    The buckling analysis was a good idea. However, I ran that, and found my current load is NOT bigger than the eigen buckling limit. I was hoping that would be the case. I did do runs with less load and found that my solution converges. kellnerp, what do you mean by "collapse."? Is that something...

    Hypermesh: modeling honeycomb core in 3D

    I have a side project, where I am supposed to model a surf board in 3D, which entails that I need to model the core in 3D also. Correct me if im wrong, but I dont think Hypermesh has the ability to do 3D orthotropic elements. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to model core in 3D using 2D...

    SOL 106- not converging

    Thanks for all the great comments. In response to the last posts: ThomasH, I dont have any yield limits in the model. I have linear isotropic & orthrotropic materials in the model, so it shouldnt recognize yields. EricZhao, Ive already thought about that. I did a test where i imposed 2 of the...

    SOL 106- not converging

    I dont have any rbe2 or bars. I tried increasing the NLPARM card several times, but my model still seems to converge at about 90% of load, and then diverges. Maybe my part is too flexible like you mentioned, which means i should stiffen it.

    SOL 106- not converging

    There was a previous thread similar to this which I read, but in didnt prove helpful. So here I go posting this thread, hopeful that someone has run into a similar situation. I am running SOL 106 for a beam-column type of analysis, nonlinearity for the displacements. The constraint is simply...
