i was modeling a simple soil sample under static load(general static step) having elastic modulus 20mPa and poisson ratio .35. My model was working good. but when i decreased the modulus of elasticity to 2mpa. Abaqus shows me warning(The plasticity/creep/connector friction algorithm did not converge at 1 points ) and solution did not converge. Anybody tell me what are main reason behind it, what is the meaning of this ? thanks in advance
