Dear,
I want to take into account the geometrical imperfection of some bars. The problem is that the calculation does not come to convergence.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks,

My assumption is that you have non linear analysis. You may try to set the Full Newton-Raphson method (both update check boxes marked) but it is also possible that the applied load is excessive for the initially deformed structure (you may try to reduce it and check again).

Thanks, yes I have non linear analysis. Where can I set the Fill Newton-Raphson method on?
