Hello Everyone,
I am modeling steel concrete composite beam and using shell181 for steel section, beam188 for shear stud, solid65 for concrete and target170, contact174 for contact surfaces. i have merged shell elements for making i section. Unfortunately, the solution always has not been converged. it shows error. i could not understand how to solve it. followings are the examples of error. Please help me someone. i am in crucial moment. <\/p>\n

is encountered. <\/p>\n

One or more elements have become highly distorted. Excessive
distortion of elements is usually a symptom indicating the need for
corrective action elsewhere. Try incrementing the load more slowly
(increase the number of substeps or decrease the time step size). You
may need to improve your mesh to obtain elements with better aspect
ratios. Also consider the behavior of materials, contact pairs,
and\/or constraint equations. If this message appears in the first
iteration of first substep, be sure to perform element shape checking. <\/p>\n
