Need Help! Steps and time increment?
Need Help! Steps and time increment?
(OP)
Hi there,
Not sure if I will get a response here or not but am giving it a shot. I am working on a simple problem (two steps) and at during the second step get this error:
"The plasticity/creep/connector friction algorithm did not converge at # points"
The # starts off huge and keeps going down with successive increment attempts untill it reaches something like 1.
I did a quick search on here and decreased my min increment size to 1E-10. And evern tried remeshing with no luck. Any ideas on what else might fix this? Decrease the min increment further?
I know this is pretty vague but did not want to bore with a lengthy post. Im working with version 6.7 can add details/ upload my model if anyone would be willing to help.
Thanks in advance!

I have only used the general user interface to create the model with the exception of defining my "geostatic" condition. My problem has two steps: 1) geostatic 2) Loading.
