frequency domain analysis

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I have build a piezoelectric cantilever for displacement analysis.In frequency domain analysis i have given frequency range: range(0,1,1000).But getting error
" Failed to find a solution for the initial parameter.
The relative residual (10) is greater than the relative tolerance.
Returned solution is not converged."
please help me to solve this error.

I'm having convergence problems myself (see my thread; no response yet) but one thing I'd recommend here is not to increase frequency in 1 Hz steps but rather do an exponential or other type of progression.

For example:

1000*sinh(5*range(0,0.05,1))/sinh(5)

A hyperbolic function is used here because unlike an exponential that gives you zero.

Otherwise it will be a real grind when you're solving 837, 838, 839....
