Hello All,
I am working on a soil stiffness degradation model in which it is required to change the stiffness of soil after every cycle of load.I am using *field keyword to do that but the solution is not converging after 8 steps. What corrections should I make to get the convergence. I am uplolading the .inp file for better understanding of my problem. Please please tell me how to get convergence after 8th step. I tried changing the mesh and modifying step increment size but there is no convergence. I need to apply 10 cycles of load specified.
thanks in advance.
