Hello,
I am doing a contact analysis and I am encountering the same problem. First of all did you look in your message file for what seems to be happening? I tried to start my analysis with smaller time steps and also tried like you did by taking the min. time step to 1e-9, but that doesent...
Hi,
If you are still trying to solve it with implicit. check the message file for your errors. abaqus might be going through discontinuity iterations. if it reaches 12 iterations which is the default it will abort. in this case you need to increase the iterations using *Controls,Parameters=Time...
Hi,
I am a new member to this forum. By this time you probably have a solution to your problem. If not, I ran into similar problems and kind of got it to solve. Let me know
thanks
