Submitted by Cai Shengqiang on

Faculty from Caltech, UC Berkeley , University of Michigan, Georgia Tech, Brown University, University of Calgary, University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, Johns Hopkins University, Imperial College, London, and UCSD and researchers from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories congregated to UCSD  on January 18-19, 2014 to attend the third in a series of symposia on Multiscale Dislocation Dynamics and to honor Professor Michael Ortiz  on his 60th birthday. Faculty also brought their graduate students and postdocs to engage in such a powerful intellectual activity.

Dynamic (explicit) to Static (standard) analysis

Submitted by apin87@hotmail.com on

Greetings ,

i had successfully running my model in the step with dynamic (explicit).

BUT once i change my model with step in static (standard) then the job stop running in the half way with the error of

"too many increment in this step etc".. i had try decrease my small increment size to 0.001 but it still failed.. your help highly appreciated. 

how can i solve this problems?? 

between, will it the result between Dynamic (explicit) to Static (standard) analysis difference??
