Thanks for your help. I have tried adding the command. Although it changes the load deflection curve, there are still some drops. I tried varying the parameters and some variations remove the sudden drop, I am still trying to figure it out. However, I would like to ask another question regarding beam failure.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My model has fairly accurate results as compared with my reference load-deflection curve. However, I do not know how to determine when the beam will fail. In my reference study, the beam is supposed to crush due to flexure at a deflection of ~35 mm but my model continues to deflect at 50 mm (maybe even more if I increase my displacement control). How will I know if my model has failed due to flexure? What result will ANSYS give if my beam has crushed? Also, are there plots I can make to see its cracking or at least potential areas where cracking can occur?&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks!&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-356037","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/356037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/356037\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=356037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
