Abaqus error help for radiation

Submitted by emrecan88 on

I am runnin simulations for heat transfer analysis counting conduction, when I add the effect of surface radiation to environment with *radiate or *sradiate , I am getting the error message:

***WARNING: Temperature at 1 nodes has fallen below absolute zero. Increment

             will be attempted again with a new time increment. The nodes have

             been identified in node set WarnNodeTempBelowZeroStep2Inc45.

               CONVERGENCE CHECKS FOR EQUILIBRIUM ITERATION     1



 AVERAGE HEAT FLUX                   1.78       TIME AVG. HEAT FLUX    2.75   

 LARGEST RESIDUAL HEAT FLUX         7.470E-07   AT NODE      60122   DOF 11

 LARGEST INCREMENT OF TEMP.         3.352E-02   AT NODE      60122   DOF 11

 LARGEST CORRECTION TO TEMP.       -6.868E-05   AT NODE      60122   DOF 11

          THE HEAT FLUX EQUILIBRIUM EQUATIONS HAVE CONVERGED

 MAXIMUM NON-PRESCRIBED INCREMENT IN TEMPERATURE IS   3.352E-02

          TIME INCREMENT MAY NOW INCREASE TO    6.371E-05

 ***WARNING: TEMPERATURE AT NODE 3 (-1.50112E-03) HAS FALLEN BELOW ABSOLUTE

             ZERO (0.0000).  INCREMENT WILL BE ATTEMPTED AGAIN WITH A TIME

             INCREMENT OF 1.59273E-05

 

 ***ERROR: TOO MANY ATTEMPTS MADE FOR THIS INCREMENT

 

Did anyone experience that problem, please help me?

My initiol condition is 373 K at each node, so negative temperature values at nodes are nonsense.

 

Thanks
