Excessive distortion at a total of 1130 integration points in solid (continuum) elements ABAQUS

Excessive distortion at a total of 1130 integration points in solid (continuum) elements in ABAQUS can be caused by several factors, including:

1. Poor mesh quality: If the mesh is not properly constructed, it can lead to excessive distortion at integration points. This can be addressed by refining the mesh or using a different meshing technique.

2. Large deformations: If the material undergoes large deformations, it can cause excessive distortion. This can be addressed by using a different material model or reducing the magnitude of the deformation.

3. Material instability: If the material is not stable, it can cause excessive distortion. This can be addressed by using a different material model or adjusting the material properties.

4. Boundary conditions: If the boundary conditions are not properly defined, it can cause excessive distortion. This can be addressed by reviewing and adjusting the boundary conditions.

To address excessive distortion at integration points, it is recommended to review and adjust the above factors as necessary. Additionally, it may be helpful to review the ABAQUS input file and output messages for any warnings or errors related to excessive distortion.
