Alow more iterations

Alow more iterations

Alow more iterations

(OP)
Hi,

My solution almost converged on the 40th iteration, things were steadily looking better, then Ansys aborted due to the large number of iterations.  How do I increase the number of allowed iterations?

RE: Alow more iterations

Hi,
if you made 40 equilibrium iterations, then check your settings because you have already manually specified this value: the program default should be 26 in your case.
The command should be NITER,nnn or, in Workbench, somewhere in the Options -> Solution.

Regards

RE: Alow more iterations

Thanks for your reply.

I have one rough contact and I reduced the stiffness of this contact.  Now it takes 13 iterations.

I think that the default value in WB is 40.  At least, I haven't changed it knowingly.

Take care,
Pingen
