Hi All,
Recently, while I was analysing a Component with Non Linear Static Stress Analysis, after 25 Hours of Run time i got an error as below
I cant understand, what that error message states.
Thanks

Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved by zhuangs. Go to Solution.
The errors like this are usually caused by the solvers been faster than the Windows disk operation system.
Nonlinear analysis is done by performing thousands of linear analyses. Each linear analysis opens tens of files at the beginning and closes them at the end. If the disk operations handled by OS cannot keep up with the solvers there will be an error like this. I know that this type of the problem was fixed for many files and many types of analysis but probably was not fixed yet for this particular I/O problem (or maybe you are using an old version of the solvers?).
The errors might not repeat itself if run again. If it is persistent the following actions might help:
The error might be reated to the system. However, we can avoid this if we can improve the convergence of the model. From your description and the residual information shown in the log file, the model should have convergence issue. I am wondering what kind of nonlinear material model is used. You can try to switch the iterative method from "Automatic" to "Full Newtion with Line Search 1" and see whether it helps. If not, please provide more information of the model: element types of part1, material model of part1, # of elements and nodes.

the error got resolved by increasing the number of time steps, as i increased the number of time steps, to solve a time step it takes 7 iterations max.
Previously i took 30.
Material in Al Alloy 1100-H18 and Element type is Von Mises with isotropic hardening.
Though the analysis runs well, results are not as expected.
As shown in the above picture, the wire with 7 strands is pulled by giving a .05 displacement at one end and fixed at other end. I want to capture the stress and strain at all the strands.
No separation surface contact should be defined between 7 strands, can Autodesk SIM Mech do such an Non Linear Analysis
Thanks
