Hi John,
My description might not be clear. I did not turn on creep in the first step. I only turn on creep for step 2 and 3. The temperature loadings I applied are all 20°C at every step which is identical to the ambient temperature.
The simulation worked fine in step 1 but encountered error messages in step 2 and stopped. I checked the stress and displacement in step 1. They are virtually zero (less than 1E-10). Hope this information helps. Please let me know if you need more information.
