          Strongly distorted elements can appear in shape optimization if the displacements are too large 
or the mesh modification caused by the displacements of the design nodes is done in an unfavorable manner. It causes the solver to fail during FE analysis.

          Confirm the mesh in the FE preprocessor, find the place where it became distorted. Usually, more information can be found from the analysis of the incorrectly calculated iterations. It should be checked if the optimization boundary conditions have been set correctly 
(care should be taken with the AUTO_FIX function, as all surface nodes that do not have DOF restrictions will be fixed).
