  Greetings to all,
  I'm doing Explicit Dynamic analysis in ANSYS Workbench. In Analysis settings, I'm providing end time=3e-5 sec, initial time step = 1e-10 sec, minimum time step = 1e-10 sec. After analysis, the solver showed an error that the 'time step is too small' and the solution is not completed.
  Can anyone help me with this, I'll be grateful to you.
  Thank you.
