THere are many discussion on nonlinear convergence in the forum, that could be useful here (we can search for that here or via google: e.g., search for : site: https://forum.ansys.comand nonlinear convergence)nnFor this specific example , since the properties shown are very similar to those of the tech. demo. guide in our help manual (example 54), looking into that example might be of help (especially section 54.6, and 54..nnAll the bestErikn

HInHOW TO ACCESS TECH.DEMO.GUIDE and I can't find help manual n

[Erik Kostson]

The Technology demonstration guide is inside Ansys help, so once you have help open, search for: Reinforced Concrete Joint Analysis.Below are links showing on how you can access help:nnnhttps://forum.ansys.com/discussion/2345/links-to-help-go-to-customer-portal-sign-in-page#comment-11d9a253-4840-4284-8b31-a94900ecd300nAlso please take a moment to review the Guidelines on the Student Community as well.nAll the bestn
