simply supported plate does not converge
simply supported plate does not converge
(OP)
Hello All,
I build a plate model with pin supports at two ends. The pin supports are simulated by rigid constrains to the reference points. I am trying to calculate the stress distribution when the pressure is applied on the top of the plate, the result is hard to converge. I think this should be very simple case, there must be something wrong with the model.
Could anyone help me check with the model. I put the INP file in the attachment.
Thanks a lot!

I have defined the plasticity of the material. Actually, I find out the problem. It is related to the BC. Thank you anyway.
