I am solving non-linear solution in ANSYS workbench static structural and my solution is having displacement convergence but not force convergence. Any tips to solve the problem.
Dear Bharath,
Things that you can do to get the convergence in ANSYS workbench
1.Check the skewness of the mesh
2. Use adjust to touch option
3.Add weak springs
Dear Bharath,
My two cents:
1. Identify which type of non-linear analysis that you are dealing with (material or geometry non-linearity).
2. Converging on displacement is usually not representative. Plot a graph on any quantity (eg. disp, stress, strain energy) against element no (refine the elements a few times to examine the graph pattern). If the graph approaches asymptote, convergence is achieved.
3. Convergence on stress should be the final check.
Good luck!
