abaqus explicit packager keeps running

[iu75rmit]

I am doing explicit dynamic, cohesive surface based damage model.
when I submit it keeps running the packager and never starts solver.

same model done in implicit static general, works fine.

anyone got similar issues??
thanks in advance

Yes I have the same issue when using VUMATs in explicit models.

To date I have had any explanation of why this is.

DrBwts, My implicit works fine, but cant find any reason for explicit...

anyway I am able to run that now....few data points in the contact properties table was too close to zero
I remove those points and it worked
