| E5090 | FATAL ERROR: E5090 | MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TIME STEPS REACHED |
| Cause: | The estimate for the maximum number time steps for a nonlinear transient analysis exceeded the internal limit. This is usually the result of both the number of time steps (NDT) and the maximum number of bisections per step (MAXBIS) on the TSTEPNL entry being set too high. | |
| Action: | Reduce the NDT and/or MAXBIS setting(s) on the TSTEPNL Bulk Data entry. | |
| Remarks: | See Autodesk Nastran Reference Guide, Section 4, Bulk Data, for entry format. |
