Hello everyone, I am trying to model "discrete element particles" with dynamic explicit analysis steps using the "Particle Generator Tool" in Abaqus 2021. But my Stable time increment size suddenly decreases with a sudden increase in the Total Energy of the model. Hence it takes a large number of time incrementations to solve the. Need Some Help!. I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue and also a status file from the problem. thank you problem #DiscreteElementMethod #Abaqus2021 #particleGenerator
