Hi TGS4,
I'm quite sure that the instabilities cause my convergence issues. Unfortunately, a riks analysis isn't possible with temperature loading [sadeyes]
Hi Mustaine3,
*Dynamic, Application=Quasi-Static leads also to convergence issues.
Explicit is not working at the moment due to modelling issues. I'm currently working on some contact redefinition to get an explicit analysis running.
Hi Mustaine3,
some steps abort due to a too high displacement correction at nodes in the structure (buckling?). In other steps, the contact constraints do not converge -> too much SDIs.
Hi,
I'm working on a thin shell model with temperature loading (Input from another odb via *TEMPERATURE, FILE).
Due to high thermal gradients and buckling of thin walls, the analysis has lots of convergence problems. I tried to solve the calculation with *STATIC, STABILIZE and *CONTACT...
Hi,
I'm trying to calculate the total force for a shell element.
I used *EL PRINT to get the section forces. Unfortunately, the local axes of my QUAD element (the global axes are projected onto the element surface) don't math the element edges. What's the element unit length for the calculation...
