Resolving Abaqus Convergence Issues

Why Resolving Convergence Issues Matters 

In nonlinear finite element simulations, convergence issues are a frequent barrier to obtaining accurate and reliable results. These problems commonly arise in models involving contact, nonlinear materials, or unstable geometries. Understanding and resolving these challenges is essential for reducing simulation time, increasing robustness, and improving overall project efficiency. 

Webtraining Focus 

This webtraining session provides a high-level overview of strategies and tools available in Abaqus to address convergence problems. We will explore how Abaqus solves nonlinear problems, best practices for building robust models, and how to identify and fix errors that lead to divergence. The session is built on years of experience resolving convergence challenges in customer projects.
