RigidDiaphagm and convergence error

joyww · Post by **joyww** » Sun Apr 12, 2009 12:36 am

Hello,

I've set all my elements to elastic to test whether my convergence error was due to connectivity. I think I've narrowed it down to if I take out my RigidDiaphragm at the roof then the gravity loads can be applied with no problem. However, if I apply a rigid diaphragm to my roof then the gravity load can't even get past the first load step! Can someone tell me why? Thanks!!

change the constraint handler.

Ah yes, I changed it from Lagrange to Transformation and now it works when applying the gravity load. however when I run my pushover load if my system is BandGeneral it tells me i don't have enough memory but then when i change it to UmfPack it tell me Lvalue is too small. Do you know why this is happening? Thanks!!
