Dear Hisyam,

 

See if these notes are of some help (this is an LS-DYNA question):

Subject: FSI using LS Pre Post time step problem

 

Hello everyone, 

 

I have one question, I encountered an error termination as below;

 

* Error 60004 (IMP+4)

     *******************

     *                                                       *

     *                -  FATAL ERROR  -                      *

     *                                                       *

     *  Nonlinear solver failed to find equilibrium.         *

     *                                                       *

     *******************

 

 Writing out last converged state for implicit.

 

 

the only I change is the time step from 0.1 to 0.01. For 0.1 time step, it was ok with result. but when I change to 0.01 become an error.

 

Thank you in advance.

Hisyam

Dear Hisyam,

 

A comment I found that may be of some interest.

 

LS-DYNA's *static* implicit nonlinear solver has trouble converging for very tiny time steps

(or for steps where applied loads/displacements are held constant) because of our convergence

criterion. We require that the initial displacement and energy norms at the beginning of each

step be reduced by several orders of magnitude before the equilibrium iterations can "converge". 

This approach fails in the case where the step begins (almost) in equilibrium.  Then these norms

are already (nearly) zero, so reducing them further is difficult, and is sensitive to numerical

truncation error.  Results will vary from computer to computer, and from single to double

precision versions.
