Optistruct Material Non-linear analysis - facing high cutbacks due to large strain
Hi,
I am working on an analysis that involves high stress and strain in the material. I have assigned non-linear material with material curve defined through TABLES1 and assigned at MATS1 in the material.
following is the error I am getting:
I am using Optistruct as a solver. Can anybody help me with this? I have used NLPARAM(LGDISP), NLADAPT cards as well.
Thanks.

Hi Ashish,
In this case, out file gives you a hint that the plastic strain is excessive, so it's good to review you material properties, specially MATS1.
The subcase is almost reaching the end, 95% of the final load, so I recommend you to request on NLOUT the parameter SVNONCNV=YES to save the nonconvergent steps, because you would be able to load this results in HyperView and understand where the convergence is getting trapped - may be slippage, or even some part is not properly constrained.
After checking the nonconvergent steps, if the issue seems to be contact stabilization, I would recommend you to try PARAM,EXPERTNL,CNTSTB parameter: https://2024.help.altair.com/2024.1/hwsolvers/os/topics/solvers/os/cntstb_bulk_r.htm?zoom_highlight=cntstb
