Hello,
I’m having a lot of difficulties on solving a load unload problem with shape memory alloy materials.
I am starting with a simple brick model, and if i use only 1 element, i have no problem.. But if i create various elements, i got errors such as element formulation or solution not converged.
If anyone understands about the simulation of these alloys, I can send you my log file for you to see if I am making any mistake.
I would appreciate your help,
Thanks,
Daniel
