Hello everyone!
I am working on a project about modeling a cable with a number of pitched/sweeped little cables inside (so, they are all combined into one cable).
I need to do an axial stress analysis and also a bending moment one. I designed the geometry, applied the force on one side of the cable and fixed another one, in order to do axial test and see how these little tubes interacts with each other.
As far as I understand, I need to use frictional type of contacts, don't I? However, every time after 10-20 mins of simulation, an error appears saying:
An internal solution magnitude limit was exceeded.
Please check your Environment for inappropriate load values or insufficient supports. Also check that your mesh has more than 1 element in at least 2 directions if solid brick elements are present.
I've tried many things such changing the meshing size, type of the material, force direction and and force value (reduced it up to 100N from 10kN initially) as well as friction coefficient, but error is still here
However, the model works if I change the contact type to bonded, but it's not what I need.
What else might be a problem?
I've attached 3 print screens: one showing the force, another how I applied fixed support, and the last one with meshing
Thank you in advance!
