    Convergence difficulties composite shells

    IceBreakerSours, what do you mean by application=quasi-static? There is already some numerical damping present (bulk viscosity) to damp out the unwanted displacement.

    Convergence difficulties composite shells

    Thank you for your answer, I'm looking into it now. I need to know that the results I'm getting truly are quasi-static. I was thinking if the kinetic energy of the system is much less than the internal energy of the system, then the results should be realistic. Is it that simple?

    Convergence difficulties composite shells

    I am modeling a hexagonal system with shell elements, see added image. These shell elements are assigned a composite section with 2 materials (linearly elastic) and three layers. I am trying to compress this system transversely with a displacement controlled analytical rigid plane, but the...
