I would like to ask the procedure for calculation of Static Damping in AUTODYN.

I am trying to perform simulation of Crushable Foam Plasticity model. However, I am getting convergence error

***NOTE: THE SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE DIVERGING. CONVERGENCE IS JUDGED UNLIKELY.

***ERROR: TOO MANY ATTEMPTS MADE FOR THIS INCREMENT

Can someone please help. I have attached the image of Abaqus input data.

Thanks a lot in Advance.

Topic 1: Rank top ten severe accidents in energy
sector

1.   
Gulf

The accident
was caused by gas release and subsequent explosion. There were 11 people died.
The accident involved a well integrity failure followed by a loss of
hydrostatic control of the well. BOP emergency functions failed to seal the

Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear disaster:

Installing

solar panels on rooftops are obviously a high risk activity. There are a number

of hazards such as working at heights which could lead to falls from heights or

falling objects. Also slippery roof surfaces, damaged roofs, electrical

discharge from uninstalled panels, electrical fitting and equipments are all

potential hazards. All these, when not properly controlled could lead to

undesired conquences.
