I have the following issues with this model,<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>1) I successfully solved the model with initial angle of internal friction 42 deg and final angle of internal friction 20 deg. The same model won&#8217;t solve with the values changed to 30 deg and 20 deg respectively. It says solver error couldn&#8217;t converge on solution.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Initially I couldn&#8217;t solve with 42 deg too but then I had to make a coarse mesh that seemed to solve the issue. Please let me know what is actual problem and also insight about step controller will helpful.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>2) I changed the solver from <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">program controlled<\/span> to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">direct<\/span> as suggested by ANSYS. initially my deflection at top of the stem was 9 mm but with direct solver it got down to 6 mm. What is happening ?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>3) Can someone evaluate the attached model. It&#8217;ll be really helpful.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-37415","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["9593"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["885"],"_bbp_subscription":["237895"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["37415"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","160481"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["93560"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["93560"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2019-09-04 16:26:48"]},"test":"vinayn"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/37415","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\/37415\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
