Thanks Peter. The archive file is not available. Do you mind sharing it again if you still have it.
I'm using surface model. I think explicit dynamic does not support surface models, so I assume APDL command in static structure is only option (?).
Also I have this element distortion error no matter what displacement size or substep I'm using. The stress contour shows the von mises is close to the stress limits I defined, but in a different location (element). Could this be the issue? If I increase this limit, then my damage criteria would become wrong right? If so, can you please give some insight.
Cheers,
