    The Singularity Elimination Factor (SEF) is a parameter that can help nonlinear static analyses pass through local singularities by reducing the structural stiffness of highly or badly deformed elements. Setting the SEF to a value less than 1, such as 0 or 0.5, activates this technique. While a lower SEF may allow the analysis to complete, it typically results in more equilibrium iterations and a longer solution time. The SEF should only be adjusted if other attempts to converge the analysis have failed, and problems are often due to issues with the model setup.

    Often times, when running a nonlinear static analysis, we receive an error shown in the image

    Nonlinear Analysis Failure Message

    One of the solutions presented is to change the singularity elimination factor (SEF). So what is this
    SEF and what does it do?
    The Singularity Elimination Factor (SEF) is considered only when the large displacement option is
    specied, and it can help the solution pass through the local singularities on the equilibrium path.
    When a standard non-linear solution (SEF=1) fails to complete successfully (at a step>1) and
    termination is due to one of the following:
    stiness singularities
    incremental strain being too large
    incremental rotations being too large
    contact iterations non-converging
    A SEF value of less than 1 can help the non-linear solution proceed further to completion. The
    most eective SEF values are set to 0 and .5 (0 for maximum eect).
    When SEF is less than 1, it activates a technique to reduce the singularity of the structural
    stiness due to highly or badly deformed elements. However, a decrease in SEF usually results in
    an increase in the number of equilibrium iterations and time it takes to complete the analysis. It

    should be considered only if all other attempts to converge have failed. Most problems are due to
    setup and can be corrected. Also, you may be overlooking some bad elements in your model.
