However, this simulation shows it takes about 7.5 hours for 1s duration. While I have learned that I can adjust my model to make it more efficient for analysis, in the current form it is never able to completely run for the 7.5 hours. It stops without giving an error, and on ansys workbench mechanical it shows &#8220;ready&#8221; as though it completed running for the entire duration which it didn&#8217;t. Does anyone know why this happens? I have attached a picture of an example of what I see in the log file when it shows &#8220;ready&#8221; without completing the analysis<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/21-09-2023-1695305027-log_output.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-307895","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["78929","83","43503"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.218.223"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1696"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["307895"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["83","78929"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["309296"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["309296"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-09-28 15:14:57"]},"test":"oglawal2illinois-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/307895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/307895\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
