You are here
Could you tell me know which criteria if satisfied, the abaqus give this error "one of your elements distorted excessively"?
For test reasons of abaqus work, I have defined my material properties (stress-strain behaviour) up to strains of 15! However, even in this condition some of my elements reaches this strain value and distorted. I want to know which calculation the abaqus software is using to report a distortion error?
Actually can we define our material behaviour in a way that, it would not distorted at all?

RE:
Dear Dincoz
I'm working on multiscale modeling of soft tissues. In my case the deformation are moderately small but sometimes distortion error is occured. With regard to my experience, this error show that the solution process is diverged and it may be because material instability or unstability at contact elements. You should check your material model parameters or solver parameters like timestep size.
