ABAQUS import explicit to implicit

ABAQUS import explicit to implicit

(OP)
Hi all,

I am currently running a model in Abaqus, in which some rings are closed around a tube, after which pressure is applied in the inside of this tube. Due to the severe nonlinearity of the first step, I chose to make an explicit Quasi-static analysis, which I finished with acceptable results. Now I am importing the solution to an implicit analysis, but I get the next errors:

"displacement too big for contact"
"the strain increment has exceeded fifty times the strain to cause first yield at 30000 points"

The analysis wouldn´t even finish the first increment. Can somebody give me an idea of what is happening??
