Hi everyone,
I am trying to change one static simulation from Abaqus/Standard to a quasi-static one in Abaqus/Explicit to avoid contact and convergence issues, but I encountered one problem during this process: it is taking an absurd amount of time.
My simulation consist in two steps: Applying a gravity load to an ball-shaped orphan mesh in the first step and then compressing it between two plates in the following one. When I run just the first step without the plates it runs normally, but when the plates are added the simulation takes too much time( even though they dont move in this step).
I have considered mass scalling, but the critical elements are in the orphan mesh not on the plates.
Does anyone has any ideas how to fix this?
Any help would be highly appreciated
