failed to converge after 1500 iteration

Post by alimohammadian »

Hello

I model 12 story frame. I try Time history analysis but after 17 sec (failed to converge after 1500 iteration current norm). Several times I check my code but I could not find the problem.

Please guide me.

The following code has been placed

if the 1500 is with regular Newton, don't waste your time, 10 is more than enough.
if it fails with 10 switch to ModifiedNewton -initial

if you want to ensure it does not fail don't do nonlinear analysis!

dear fmk

my Analysis codes are:

numberer Plain
system BandGeneral
test NormDispIncr 1.0e-5 1500 2;
algorithm KrylovNewton
integrator Newmark 0.5 0.25
analysis Transient
analyze [expr int(62.82/$dt)] $dt


Is it better to use EnergyIncr insted of NormDispIncr ?
if yes How to put its parameters؟
