    Non-convergence of displacement control cyclic analysis in ABAQUS

    Hi FEM way, No, I have not as I thought these steps are more for fatigue analysis where I am not looking at fatigue. I am using multiple general steps and applying the desired displacments with "Amplitudes" assgined accordingly. But since you have mentioned it, I should try both of these steps...

    Non-convergence of displacement control cyclic analysis in ABAQUS

    Hi g.alshamsi, I am using standard at the moment. Looking at the last increment (in job diagnostics), force equilibrim is not achieved at column nodes (more specifically nodes at the top part of the column) for consecutive iterations and attemps. I initially thought this could be a hourglassing...
