Nonlinear analysis - failure to converge
I already have hard penalty contact defined in the model and have attempted to apply hylerelasticity to the artery using a Mooney-Rivlen constitutive equation and nonlinear geometry. My balloon model is simply linear elastic. I'm just wondering if it's possible to solve this problem in Standard...- CR27

Nonlinear analysis - failure to converge
Hi, I'm modelling the inflation of an angioplasty balloon within a stenosed artery (artery with plaque) in \Standard. I'm working with a 1/4 model enforcing symmetry boundary conditions and fixing the artery at each end. The balloon is inflated within the artery to a diameter to match that of...- CR27
