Hi
I have a problem with electrostatic simulation. I'm trying to simulate a membrane with an electrode below. Performing a simulation in some range of voltage gives following results:
Let's assume that for 15 volts that membrane touches the electrode. In range 0-13V results are correct, in range 13-16 the following error occurs:

--------------------------------------------------------
Solution not converged at time 1 (load step 1 substep 1)
Run terminated
--------------------------------------------------------

in range 16-... results are correct.
How to eliminate this problem?


----------------------------------------------------------
Program listing
For 14V ansys gives an error
The same problem occurs when i create transducers manually (using E command)
