I am encountering an issue with my ALE analysis in Abaqus and would appreciate your guidance.

I first performed an Abaqus/Standard analysis and obtained the force for each element. I then used these element forces as input for a subsequent ALE model. However, the ALE analysis fails to run.

Interestingly, when I use the same loading approach in Abaqus/Explicit, the analysis runs successfully. Similarly, the CEL model also runs without any issues. The problem appears to be specific to the ALE model.

Could you please advise on the possible reasons why the ALE analysis is not running? Are there any specific limitations, loading requirements, or compatibility issues when applying element forces obtained from an Abaqus/Standard analysis to an ALE model?
