iam running the Abaqus standard to find the natural frequencies for different modes .During analysis ,composite elements are specified with continuum shell elements and the cohesive layers specified by cohesive elements using general contact between the layers. i have given mass density data also .While submitting the job the following attached error is displaying . i need your suggestion regarding this
THREE FACTORIZATIONS IN A ROW FAILED. CHECK THE MODEL. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE MODEL CONTAINS THE KINEMATIC COUPLING DEFINITION SET UP IN A WAY THAT A DEGREE OF FREEDOM HAS NEITHER MASS NOR STIFFNESS
To calculate the natural frequencies of a structure using Abaqus, you will need to define the geometry, material properties, and boundary conditions of the structure. You will also need to specify the element type and element properties, including the element thickness, mass density, and material properties.
Once the model has been defined and the analysis has been set up, you can use Abaqus to solve for the natural frequencies of the structure using an eigenvalue analysis. This will allow you to determine the frequencies at which the structure will naturally vibrate, which can be useful for understanding its dynamic behavior.
It is important to note that the accuracy and convergence of the natural frequency analysis will depend on a number of factors, including the element type and element properties, the accuracy of the material models, and the convergence criteria. It may be necessary to perform sensitivity studies and adjust the analysis parameters to ensure that the results are accurate and reliable.
