Hi,

Check the imposed time step in the model. It seem likes the imposed time step value is very high.

Reduce the value and try running again.

i did that and but renaming time is increasing .What can be the reason ?

Altair Forum User

Hi,

This seems like the time step of the model is decreasing and so the run time is increasing. Check the model for any penetrations/intersections which could result in time step drop.

From the engine out (_0001.out) file check which object is responsible for the low  time step. It can be an element, a node or an interface.

• For an element, check the related material.There must not be an error in the units system that this data is given in. check the element size also
• For a node, check the characteristics of connected elements. If the node is on the master side or the slave side of an interface, this interface must be verified.
• For an interface, the gap of the interface must be verified if some failure happens on the master or the slave side of the interface

Is it anyway dependent on direction of loading ?

Altair Forum User

Hi,

No, but if the loading direction is not correct it could result in weird model behavior which could result in element distortion.

Can you please share the engine out (_0001.out) file.
