ERROR [2117]: DIVERGENCE DETECTED IN EXPLICIT DYNAMIC ANALYSIS

Cause

This error is generated when the solution to nonlinear explicit dynamic analysis is assessed to have diverged.  The solution mainly diverges if the specified initial velocity is unusually large or the vibration modes caused by an impact due to a suddenly applied large external load cannot be adequately simulated.

Remedy

If one of the above causes is identified, modify the corresponding condition.  Especially if the cause of divergence is related to time steps, reduce the time scale factor.
