Hi, I am modelling a multi impact phenomena ( 5 impacts) on a composite plate with 8 layers. After running for three impacts the analysis is getting terminated by showing the error,
In element 379 of instance COMP-0-1 the ratio of deformation speed to wave speed is 0.30000 at increment 1751551. See the message file for further information. I have changed to full integration and also refined mesh from 0.5 mm to 0.25 mm still the problem is coming . Can any one please help me how to solve this issue.

Check that element in the results and try to figure out why it's distorting. Maybe some local mesh refinement is necessary or element deletion should be introduced.
