I have some problem about command in Ansys APDL program.

Dear community,

I have two problems about this program

1. How to fix the problem of Mechanical APDL Product Launcher (BATCH) when I run loop process in Loadstep. During the running of LARGE DISPLACEMENT ANALYSIS and it has UNCONVERGENT and then the program is stop working and it show about this.

*** WARNING *** CP = 5.094 TIME= 12:50:31
The program chosen initial timestep/load-factor is arbitrary. It is
necessary for the user to supply a suitable initial
timestep/load-factor through the NSUB or DELTIM command for
convergence and overall efficiency.

*** ERROR *** CP = 341.672 TIME= 12:53:44
Solution not converged at time 4.994375 (load step 5 substep 7).
Run terminated.

*** WARNING *** CP = 341.672 TIME= 12:53:44
The unconverged solution (identified as time 5 substep 999999) is
output for analysis debug purposes. Results should not be used for
any other purpose.

*** ERROR *** CP = 347.562 TIME= 12:53:48
Load set not found on result file file.rst.

I add some code and attach file code Name: CODE1 and start at LN481.

ALLSEL,ALL
ANTYPE,STATIC,NEW
PSTRES,ON
NLGEOM,ON
SSTIF,ON
NCNV,2
PT_LD_JOINT1=(NJOINT-1)/2+1
loadsteps=120
*DO,L111,1,loadsteps,1
*IF,L111,LT,7,THEN
F,CHORD_NODE_NUM1(PT_LD_JOINT1,2),FY,-0.1*PCRMODEL%II%*L111
*ELSEIF,L111,LT,11,THEN
F,CHORD_NODE_NUM1(PT_LD_JOINT1,2),FY,- (0.6*PCRMODEL%II%+0.05*PCRMODEL%II%*(L111-6))
*ELSEIF,L111,LT,21,THEN
F,CHORD_NODE_NUM1(PT_LD_JOINT1,2),FY,-(0.8*PCRMODEL%II%+0.01*PCRMODEL%II%*(L111-10))

*ENDIF
LSWRITE,L111
*ENDDO
LSSOLVE,1,loadsteps,1

2. If I want NODE1 that is support move to direction UY. It have distance equal NODE2 when Loadstep running every STEP on LARGE Displacement Analysis. How I can do and what I need to using command ?
attach a file name : photo1

Thank you very much for your help.

Make sure the degrees of freedom. Also check the displacement constrains. Constrain the translational or rotation for z axis properly.
