During the forming analysis I found that some elements in the blank became distorted. How can this problem be solved?

Mesh distortion can arise from several sources. The following list are some possible reasons. The user should check his input…

Even if I include the card of *CONTROL_ADAPTIVE in my input deck, the blank is not adapted. How can I fix this problem?

The most common mistake is that the parameter ADPOPT (the seventh parameter in the card of *PART) has not been…
