Thanks your explanation.
Yes indeed, I am still using DYNA_NON_LINE. I looked into your model, you also used STAT_NON_LINE.
So this means mesh elements without density can only be used in case of STAT_NON_LINE, right?
Do you have any advice how I can manage to to it if I still use DYNA_NON_LINE?

I tried with STAT_NON_LINE, added springs. but it does not go beyond the first step. It gives the 'singular matrix' error. I can not figure out where I went wrong, in BC, in contact, or in solution? Really appreciated if some one can have a look at my comm files and help me figure out the problem.

Here are my comm file and mesh.

Thanks.

I have a simple example here, you can try to recreate. Once it works in 2D, you can go to 3D.

This example works with 12.0.something, so you might have to adjust it.

Claws, I looked into your simulation and now able to run the simulation without error :) . But there are still problems.

Now convergence became the main issue since the simulation is involved contact+friction, non-linear material , large deformation.

For this some advices were given in Code_Aster forum. Briefly summarizing these would be: (1) refining mesh (2) using quadratic elements + reduced integration (_SI) in order to take into account incompressibility (3) using CONTINUE method with smoothing (4) in solution use 'PREDICTION='ELASTIQUE' (5) Set all to 'NEWTON' in contact resolution.

I refined my mesh and geometry and tried 3 cases:
a) HEXA20 for sheet and Linear Tet4 for the rest. It gives me error 'Singular Matrix'
b) HEXA20 + reduced integration (_SI) for sheet and Linear Tet4 for the rest. It gives me error 'Singular Matrix'
c) HEXA8 for sheet and Tet4 for the rest. it runs until some point but again fails with the error 'fails to integrate constitutive law'. In addition, it requires very small time step (0.0005 even smaller).

Here is my mesh and mess file bending_hexa8 .
So what can I do improve the convergence of simulation.

Thanks.

Now I have some progress in my simulation. But it ran more than 80 hours to give me some result. Thus reducing computation time becomes priority. So I wanted to model all other components except the sheet as rigid surface, but there has been some errors that I do not understand why.

The test case SSNP155 utilized the same technique with DYNA_NON_LINE for 2D cases.
And TdS explained in code-aster forum as following:

n the U2.04.04 manual (offline for the moment but should hopefully be back soon), you'll find advices on how to model rigid tools. In a nutshell it is usually done this way :

- model the tool in the mesher. Two possibilities arise : either you model only the border or the whole body. The advantage of modelling the whole body is that it will be easier to orient its normal
- orient the normal either with ORIE_PEAU_* or ORIE_NORM_COQUE depending what you chose at the previous step
- add only the border of the tool to the model (and apply a 3D modelization)
- constrain all the dofs of the tool with AFFE_CHAR_CINE so as not to add any additional dofs in the mode


I followed the same procedure for my 3D case with DYNA_NON_LINE, but it gave me singular matrix error with this alarm;

Replied by Alibay on topic Re: Sheet Metal Bending-Contact/BC set up
I found the reason. It gave singular matrix because all the rigid surfaces are be contained using AFFE_CHAR_CINE and I did not constrain the rigid surface which represented the blank-holder. Instead what I did was that I applied pressure load on that surface.

Now I applied very small displacement on the surface in order not to have singular matrix. Plus I applied the ramped pressure load again on the same rigid surface that represents blank-holder. It runs without problem.

But here comes another question:
the displacement applied on the blank-holder surface is constant throughout whole simulation. The pressure applied on the same surface is ramped. So does the displacement prevent the ramped pressure load to effect the blank-holder gradually? in another words, does the surface stay at the same position under the displacement or it can move further because of the pressure load?
