Hi again,
I gave Bulk as 0.01267GPa and shear as 0.0013100 GPa to a viscoelastic solid material. other than this, I tried giving element formulation as 2, and the model ran for 165 ms (supposed to run fr 220 ms) before giving negative volume error.
Next step, i tried ELFORM=3 and was able to see negative volume error much more earlier (36 ms) on some other viscoelastic component.
I am unable to solve this.
Please help me out. Thank you
