time history

[Harold]

I'm doing an time history analysis, when the structure reaches fluence the program stops and tells me: "Unable to apply the next load increment."

What should i do?

Hi Harold. The first step would be to perform a forum search on 'unable to apply' or some specific reference to the error type you are getting - 'fbd_ite' or something similar, for example. You will find many, many discussions of this and hopefully, a situation similar to yours with an appropriate solution. The forum is actually quite good as is the Help System, so don't forget to try it as well.

Best of luck Harold.
