Too many attempts made for this increment

[hussain98]

Hi all, I'm trying to simulate the movement of discontinuous platelets with a cohesive zone in between. Could you advise why this is giving the too many attempts for this increment?

It's a static analysis using a Hashin UMAT

 

[FEA way]

This analysis requires a subroutine so I can't run it. But I would advise you to perform a single-element test to check the behavior of that user material before using it in this problem.
