Dear Team ,

I am getting an error in my model as attached below. I am curious to know about this error, because I made this model again from beginning using the same steps and I didn,t get any error, So, I want to know where am I doing wrong.


Regards,

Zeeshan Bhat

Zeeshanbhat,
You assigned properties or elements to geometries of erroneous dimensions, for example brick elements to 1d lines.
When you select the geometry and assign pay attention to use the correct selection.
1D properties or elements -> liness
2D properties or elements -> surfaces
3D properties or elements -> volumes

Additional advice:
1) I changed the alghoritm to krylov newton for faster convergence
2) With load control you will have problem of convergence when the problem becomes highly nonlinear, I suggest to switch to displacement control.
3) You should use MP and mumps, even with the use of 1 processor the model would be much faster
Now the model attached is running in load control.
Regards
