SubscriberHi all,
Can anyone tell me, how to give time steps(initial,minimum and maximum steps) for a creep analysis of 1000hours in Ansys?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Chandra

SubscriberHi Sampat,
Thank you very much for your response.
I understand it now. I tried what you suggested but there some problem with initial time step, minimum time step and maximum time step. Actually it is working for larger time step sizes and I would like to reduce it, then Iam getting the errors?
Could you please help me with this regard?
Kind regards
Chandra

SubscriberHi Sampat,
Thank you very much for your response.
I understand it now. I tried to implement as per your suggestion. I gave initial time step, minimum time step and maximum time steps as larger values and it is working. But as far as I all these time steps sizes should be smaller values, I tried to give smaller values and am getting errors. Here am attaching the error.
Could you please help me with this regard?
Kind regards

Ansys EmployeeHi Chandra,
Will you please check the error in the solver file? . Please check the error in the solver output file and upload the screenshot too. Please upload a screenshot of the analysis setting where you have entered the time step. Please upload both the time steps that you have used for successful and unsuccessful simulations.
Regards,

SubscriberHi Sampat,
I checked there, I can see only warnings but not errors. Below am attaching the screenshot of it.
Also am attaching the screenshots of Analysis settings both successful and unsuccessful simulations.
Here I posted the solution information.

Sampat Kumar
Ansys EmployeeHi Chandra,
There might be a possibility that the minimum time steps that you provided are not enough to converge the problem, and the solver may require more iteration steps to converge the problem. We usually increase the sub-steps if the solution is not converging. If you are able to get the solution as per your expectations in the required time, then it's good to follow that.

Ansys EmployeeHi Chandra,
you can also check that When you decrease the end time of the simulation, in that case, you can try to lower the minimum time step and increase the maximum time step in the simulation. This will not change your simulation result but the solver will get the required steps for iteration to converge the simulation.

SubscriberHi Sampat,
I will check this and I think what you said is correct, I tried this before, lower initial and minimum time steps had worked for lesser step end time without any errors.
Thanks for much clarification.
Kind regards
Chandra
