Hello,

I am making 2D Lamb wave propagation in hyperelastic materials with Muraghan Third Order Elastic constants, I have a impulse function as input BCs, but when I use transient study it always can not run (the last step can not converge), however, if I select linear elastic material rather than hyperelastic, it can run anyway, is there some part I should change the settings ?

Thanks.

A source approximating an impulse function PLUS nonlinearity is pretty much a worst case for convergence in a time-dependent solution.

You could try making the "impulse" more gradual, say a half sine wave. And try decreasing the amplitude until you get convergence. Maybe you can get a useful solution that way.

Sometimes using different solvers will help. For (linear) wave propagation problems I use BDF, strict, max order 2, min order 1.
