Can anybody help me to check this example?

Post by Rocky »

The first five steps work fine.
But after six steps, I checked the displacement of Node 3, and found it's zero. I don't know why. Can anybody help me?

Thanks alot.

If only analyzing five steps (0-0.05), the result of reaction force on node 3 is correct. But if analyzing six steps (0-0.06), the reaction force on node 3 is not correct, and the displacement on this node is not the displacement assigned to it.

Can anybody check it? or is my syntax incorrect?

Thanks alot.
