non linear analysis of a cylinder

Submitted by shabber hussain on

Hi...

I am working on post buckling of a cylinder in ANSYS. I have included imperfections using NLGEOM command. I applied a load which is slightly higher than eigen value buckling analysis and i am using displacement controlled analysis using arc length method. I am getting the following error after certain time

"solution not converged

Arc length  value has reached its minimum allowed value

Run terminated"

Can anyone please help me how to resolve this issue.....
