I tested the viscoelastic flow using isothermal PTT model, and I flowed the suggestion from the user guide:
"""
You have defined a viscoelastic model.
In order to avoid convergence difficulties, it is recommended to activate the convergence strategy for viscoelasticity or to define an (increasing) evolution function for the flow rate. """
I tried both of the two and both, while all of them output the error message in the iteration:
"""
Linear solution unsafe;
increasing delaying to 3.15 and cancelling increment.
Linear solution unsafe;
increasing delaying to 4.73 and cancelling increment.
Divergence detected for field T_DEVSS__1: iterations cancelled by Expert System
Divergence detected for field D_DEVSS: iterations cancelled by Expert System
Divergence detected for field VELOCITIES: iterations cancelled by Expert System
Divergence of influent solver occurred !
Worst solver is :F.E.M. Task
"""
by the way , there was a free surface extruded from the Die by using remeshing technique in POLYFLOW.
Thank you very much for browsing and looking forward to your answers.
