time period in abaqus implicit-quasi-static
time period in abaqus implicit-quasi-static
(OP)
Hello,
I know that the time period is irrelvant in the static analysis, so the default is 1.0.
I am using abaqus implicity with quasi-static (*Dynamic, application = quasi-static, initial = no)
the model is just uniaxial compression test for a piece of rock, however due to material and contact non-linearity, the static approach does not converge.
The question is, what should be the time period? is it one like the static analysis? or i should input the the actual time period.
Thanks

RE: time period in abaqus implicit-quasi-static
Now, how do you know it is the material or contact nonlinearities that are the reason for non-convergence? Are the two parts in contact at the start of the analysis? What warning/error messages are you receiving in .msg/.dat files?

RE: time period in abaqus implicit-quasi-static
so the question is: does the time scale is relevant in the quasi-static analysis or not. you know, the time scale is irrelevant in the static analysis.
Thanks.
