Hi sir, 

I am trying modeling belt as nlfe but solution does not converge. Could you make any suggestion for convergence especially for the belt friction and other nonlinear parameters. It is not possible to learn exact friction parameters for belt but I guess you have some approximations for the nonlinear parameters. 

 

Please find the all necessary files for the model at the attachment. Additionaly, I am trying to measure belt flapping.

    Hi,

     

    I think the problem is with the strain provided which is crossing the yield limit.
