No rating yet Subject: Re: Error in element formulation Author: Ravi Nair Date: 2001-01-31 08:27:00I have seen this happen generally when we have plasticity & NLGEOM, ON esp with PCG solver. I used to get successful results with a combination of these:
1) define TB stress strain curve for a broader range 2) use sparse solver (solcon on) 3) using NROPT,full,,OFF
It may also be caused by bad elements deforming excessively.
Good Luck
Ravi
