Thanks for the reply. I am new to the program and am not sure where to look for the problem.
I have only used the general user interface to create the model with the exception of defining my "geostatic" condition. My problem has two steps: 1) geostatic 2) Loading.
Here is a screen shot of the unending interations...any leads would be appreciated!http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=484ad9db-10aa-4c19-8220-331e6fa280f7&file=Monitor.jpg
I am new to ABAQUS as well, I don't know about the first part of your question. As for the second part on the "increment" size can be sort of controlled if you click on the particular step module, on one of the tabs you can specify the min max and first iteration size. You might have already...
Hi there,
Not sure if I will get a response here or not but am giving it a shot. I am working on a simple problem (two steps) and at during the second step get this error:
