Hello Everyone,

I'm a beginner in Abaqus, and I'm facing a problem simulating axial and shear loading in Abaqus CAE for soil-rock-like materials. The error message says "Too many attempts were made for this increment," and in Warning, ''The system matrix has 2 negative eigenvalues." I've tried adjusting the load, but it's not working. Someone suggested it might be due to high loads, but even after changing it, the issue persists.

Length: 0.6 m= 60 cm

Axial Load: 5 MPa

Shear load on Top plate: 1 MPa

Three loading steps are applied: initial, Axial (static, general), and Shear load (dynamic, implicit) step

Boundary conditions for axil load: - 0.02 cm Y. Axis downward

BC for side load: -0.05 cm x-axis.

Could anybody please help me out with this? Any video or other links to get the concept of this problem?

Thanks
