In Workbench Mechanical, why do I get a solver error stating: " An error occurred inside the SOLVER module: The "Reference Units" defined for a material property (e.g. Anand Viscoplasticity, Shift Function) does not match the solver unit system" when I use the Anand Plasticity model? I use the MPa, K, s^-1 units when defining my material in the Engineering Data |
You will need to set the Solver Units to use the same unit system that you used to define your material model. In this case, using the MPa, K, s^-1 means that the Solver Units will need to use... |
