Stif in Victaulic coupling

Hello!!

my question is simple, think so...

i have a straight line 28" with 10 victaulic coupling (@5 m app.)

the model is ok, but not converge in two nodes.
In this nodes, I have changed the default value 'Stif' (1E12) to 1E04 and have got results (convergence ok)...

my question is:
this 'trick' is rigth??
not affect my results??



thanks for your responses

Hi.

Try with lower friction stiffness, in the computational control configuration.

Jean Paul,

this parameter already is minimum.

If you use the [Search] facility, and search on "converge", you'll find this thread.

thanks for your help!
