Thanks again

I've looked at what you've sent me and I've changed a few things, regarding the u-P formulation, as I have solid 185 elements I used Keyopt(2)=1 but in the solver it already appears that this command had already been defined and that it wasn't necessary to define it again... 

I've managed to get the results to converge, but there's one big question that I can't find the answer to. I made the cross-section of the tire and defined "share topollogy" in the space claim between the parts that constitute my tire. 

When I analyze using axisymmetry, the various parts of my model are connected to each other (because of the shared topollogy), but when I move on to a 3D analysis, using the "Revolve" command and doing it for each of the parts of my tire, I don't know why, I lose the connections I already had. 

 

The only way I've found to solve the problem is to manually define each of the contacts as bonded, but this will greatly increase the computational calculation ... is there any way to solve this ??

 

Can you help me?
