    Hi Pavan,

    This is the energy error parameter, which is shown in percentage. The energy error percentage is the parameter that checks the energy conservation during each numerical cycle . If the energy error is negative it means that some energy has been dissipated.Normally the energy error should be less than 15% at the end of computation but if the model undergoes high plastic deformation the energy error can increase. As of now the energy error looks fine in your model and I recommend you to continue the run.

    Hello Sir,

    The value of error is reached uptp 99.9%. Would it affect the results?

    NC= 1274000 T= 1.2740E+00 DT= 9.9999E-07 ERR=-99.9% DM/M= 3.8006E+01

    Hi Pavan,

    Please check the model for any penetrations/intersections in the contact.

    Moreover the mass error (dm/m) also seems to be high and it is always recommended to be less than .03.
