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.
