Hi,

Im working on an nonlinear analysis that fails prematurely (90% of full load). However, I am unable to link the incomplete solution to a submodel. Is this a limitation of the submodeling process?

Incomplete solutions are not valid ones so are not transferred to submodelling. Try reducing the load to 90% and see if the solution completes, if yes, then transfer it to submodel.

Thanks Aniket.

Also, it would be good to get the reasons why it fails for 90% load. you can search for errors in file.err and try to search those errors on forum to find similar issues and their solutions. If you don't find anything relvent, please post them here and we can try to give suggestions based on the errors!

I found the error to be distorted elements (plastic failure) at around 90% full load. I reduced the load and was able to export the solution to the submodel. 

Thank you!
