Greetings,

I am doing an analysis with the ALE method.

I get the following error.

*** Warning 40114 (SOL+114)
     time step decreased more than 50% redo cycle 227
 
 *** Warning 40117 (SOL+117)
     negative vol in advection redo cycle 228
     228 t 2.2527E-01 dt 5.17E-13 write d3plot file  


Best Regards,

Ahmet YILDIRIM

All ALE simulation should use a TSSFAC, see Control_Timestep, of 0.6 or less.

Dear Ahmet.,

 

Len Schwer previously shared the following suggestions:

 

-----------------------

 

Reducing the time step, via TSSFAC, or a *Define_Curve with prescribed time

step size, may help.

 

Before ever advection cycle, a Lagrange step is performed. If the time step is too

large, an element may invert (negative volume) and cause the error you received.

 

-----------------------

 

The message “negative volume in advection redo cycle” usually indicates the time

step needs to be reduced. Perhaps related to your use of mass scaling?

 

MM-ALE requires a smaller stable time step than that used for standard FEM solids,

so it is recommend to use TSSFAC=0.67 and NOT an increased time step via mass scaling

 

-----------------------

 

Sincerely,
