Error in pushover analysis!

Post by papaloo »

Hi dear vesna...

I did pushover analysis for my 3D model.In first few modes I got the results,but in 7th mode I have a problem.(my model is SAC9 with 27 modes).

WARNING:CTestNormDispIncr::test<>-failed to converge.

What is wrong with this model? :?:

The warning message you got only says that you could not converge to a solution. The reasons can be many. Are you doing analysis in a while loop to prevent convergence problems?
