For large strain simulation

(OP)
Hi,
I am very beginer of ANSYS.
I did use LINK10 for analysing a structure of struss and cables. I need to lengthen the cables that's why there are some large displacements.
I tried to increase de step of load but it didn't work.

The warning message is always 'there are 1 small equation solver pivot term'
and ' The calculated reference FORCE CONVERGENCE VALUE = 6.332001992E-09 is   
 less than 1E-2 a threshold zero, A value of 1E-2 or specified MINREF '
What is the problems for the second question ?

Thanks  very much
