***ERROR: Excessive distortion of element number 1200 of instance POWDER-1


***ERROR: There is only one excessively distorted element


***ERROR: The ratio of deformation speed to wave speed exceeds 1.0000 in at
          least one element. This usually indicates an error with the model

RE: Any ideas for correcting this error message?

Hi Chris

Could be any number of things to be honest - best to look at the element in Viewer and try to figure out why it is distorting so badly.

Also, there may be a sudden increase in velocity on the nodes attached to that element that is causing an instability.  Could be that the load is being applied too quickly?

Regards

Martin
