I am modelling friction stir welding process in ANSYS fluent as a steady state analysis but the solution is not converging.
I have taken workpiece as a rectangular block and defined no slip condition.
Convergence criteria is taken as 10-6 for energy
You are requested to check the mesh sensitivity, time-time stepping and boundary conditions used.
Thank you for your kind reply. I have tried different mesh size but with no result. I have attached mesh size and convergence picture here.
I have also tried for running simulation first for constant viscosity for initial iteration and then switch to UDF.
Any suggestion and help will be appreciated
