However, every time I change mesh size, the results (strain energy) change by one magnitude of order. The geometry is simple, but the results are not converging. Could you please give me some tips or help on how to make the study mesh independent and have the results converge? Attached you will find the figures and the table of data. The material is ABS plastic. <\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/TC3A7T0KUPHY\/fig1-1-jpg.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/TC3A7T0KUPHY\/fig1-1-jpg.jpg\" alt=\"fig1_1.JPG\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-47264","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-2d","topic-tag-convergence","topic-tag-mesh-convergence","topic-tag-mesh-generation","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["19464"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":["????"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1902"],"_bbp_subscription":["249122"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["47264"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","174922"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["125325"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["125325"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-08-24 20:09:08"]},"test":"664c0f3a7deb4d1ee45e6567a90a9dfc723a63a2"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/47264","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\/47264\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
