Reply To: Same Computer same model different result, error with mesh refinement

Hey, 

Mesh statistics always change when you have less mesh controls and are especially using when using tetra elements.

The highly distorted element error suggests that there is some element with very high load acting locally which is making it to distort beyond the acceptable element quality. This is usually due to incorrect contact or boundary conditions or when you are using hyper elastic elements. Check out this link if you are using hyper elastic elements.

Do share some material data, contact and boundary conditions info so that other forum users can also help you further.

Thanks,

Mohan
