    TABLES1 limited number of stress/strain entries for SOL 401 Using FEMAP 24.06

    Is there a firm number of allowable entries for a Stress-Strain curve when defining a material for plasticity? I created a function with 10 entries and my model continues to fail giving the FATAL message below. A review of the QRG and everything looks OK so I experimented by deleting entries...

    Displacement Discontinuity Between Plates with Bolt Preload and Friction Using Linear Contact

    I have two base plates bolted together with preload and friction (see attached) set up with linear contact. When a shear load is applied to the joint there is a discontinuity in the T2 translation between the plates even though the joint should be sufficiently clamped to prevent any relative...

    SOL106 CGAP Non-Convergence using FEMAP V10.1.0

    I have a plate element model that uses CGAP elements to model contact in a joint and CBUSH elements to represent the fasteners. There are (5) load cases and (5) constraint sets with act in different directions. Using SOL 101 the model solves and behaves as expected for all (5) directions. For...
