Hello All,
I am carrying out nonlinear analysis and trying to find what is the maximum load at which the assembly yields. I have provided plastic von misses material model and test data of stress and strain curve.
When I am trying to solve with 15000N load it is solving I am able to obtain the results and well within the yield. when I increase the load to 30000N solver is giving error.. Is SolidWorks having any limitation with high value of load?
Hi Shravan,
take a look on the "build in tutorials". Maybe you are missing something in the setup.
Hope this helps.

Hello Leszek,
Thank you for the input.I will try to solve with arc length method.

Shravan,
It sounds like you are experiencing a snap-through buckling problem (as Leszik stated above).
I have found that changing the Control to Arc Length in the advanced settings of nonlinear properties allows a solution to this type of problem. It allows the force to change as the object buckles. Check out the help for details on how to fill in the "Arc-Length completion options" (results from a linear buckling will be used to determine one of the values).
Enjoy,
Hello Kelly,
Thank you for the input. I will change from force control method to arc control method and I will try to solve the problem.

Shravan.
