Reply To: Element has excessive thickness change, distortion, is turning inside out

Hi, 

Looks like you have tried quite a few options to resolve this. Could you share some more details about the model?

1. The errors refer to some elements. In which region are those located?
2. What does your mesh look like in those regions?
3. How are you applying the boundary conditions to radially compress the stent?
4. How far along does the simulation get to before failing?
5. I noticed that you have 30 time steps. Is there a reason for using so many time steps?
