Reply To: Explicit Dynamics analysis ends without error, but doesn´t reach 100% progress

Did you run your model with Distributed Solve (parallel processing)? If yes, how many cores did you use? If you change the number of cores, for example, reducing it from 32 to 16 or 8, will the model run to the end time?

Furthermore, the time step is in the order of 1E-7 seconds, which is quite large for most Explicit Dynamics simulations. Did you use Mass Scaling to increase the time step? If yes, can you reduce the mass scaling time step to see if it fixes the problem?

If no mass scaling is used, did the materials in your model have very large deformation or motion? If yes, you may activate Erosion Controls to remove the elements that are distorted severely.
