Reply To: Issues getting analysis to behave as I would expect.

The intial conditions look correct from what I can see, but i am probably mistaken here. Is there a good way to diagnose which connections may be causing a model to be unsolvable? 
Ive looked through a few times and have not gotten a convergence. I simplified my cad stucture a fair amount and am oging to run the solver again.
Large deflection and weak springs are both on.
Im wondering if it would be easier to add a displacment that pushes the tools together and get the force data from the reaction force graph.
The problem is i dont know how much dispalcement occurs, just how much pressure we are applying to the system. When split into two steps the first section converges where no forces have been applied. but the second step does not have any convergences.
