ANSYS continued problem with running simulations using user-defined subroutines

    • mer153

      Hello,

      I am currently facing an issue with using USERMAT in ANSYS 2024 and would greatly appreciate any assistance in resolving it.

      Previously, I successfully utilized ANSYS 2022 on my laptop to define a user-defined material model for ANSYS through its USERMAT subroutine. This enabled me to conduct simulations and validate results against analytical solutions seamlessly. However, upon transitioning to our lab workstation for larger-scale simulations, I encountered difficulties. Despite my efforts, I consistently received the following error message from ANSYS Mechanical:

       

      *** ERROR ***                           CP =       1.094   TIME= 18:27:03
       The L-2 norm of the residual force overflowed.  This may be caused by  
       PRED,ON or birth/dead elements.  Please use PRED,OFF and try again.    

       

       

      Seeking a resolution, I had the opportunity to engage in a virtual meeting with an ANSYS expert through my supervisor's connections. Despite their dedicated efforts, we couldn't find any solution. As a workaround, I attempted to conduct simulations on alternative lab PCs, which fortunately did not exhibit the same issue.

      After that, I continued using ANSYS 2022 until recently, when I encountered a new challenge where the application started crashing without saving results upon clicking the solution tab post-simulation. Despite searching the entire ANSYS forum, I couldn't find any solution for this problem. So, I decided to upgrade to ANSYS 2024.

      While the upgrade resolved the crashing issue, I now encounter the same problem with running simulations that implement USERMAT. This time all lab PCs have that "L-2 norm error" issue. The solution panel does not display the number of equations.

      Any assistance in resolving this predicament would be immensely appreciated.

      Best Regards,

      Hi,

       

      Try checking these links if they help you. It seems like some stabilization or convergence issue to me.

        Thank you for your response.

        The evidence below shows that this issue has nothing to do with the problem setup:

        1- The simulations runs without any issue on ANSYS 2022.

        2- I had the same issue with running the simulations using ANSYS 2022 on a specific machine but not on all of them. The problem characteristic I am considering here is that this L-2 norm error appears in the simulation log right before displaying the number of equations. As I wrote in my previous post, when one of your professional colleagues investigated the issue himself, he was completely confused about why ANSYS does not print the number of equations in the output log.

         

        As your colleague mentioned previously, this raises concerns regarding the machine-dependence of the problem.

      I am copying the solution log here to provide more information about the discussed issue. As you can see here the error appears right before when the solver is supposed to display the number of equations. The simulation consists of a simple cube that is constrained by inserting a fixed support on one of its surfaces and then stretched uniaxially by applying a force to another surface. Using a displacement boundary condition, the surface that has a force applied to it, can only move in the direction of the force vector (all other DOFs are restrained).
