Lying a tire model on the ground horizontally and adding load on it to see its deformation

Lying a tire model on the ground horizontally and adding load on it to see its deformation

(OP)
Hi all,

I am trying to do the simulation of lying a tire model on the ground horizontally and adding load on its sidewall to see its deformation.
I have already had my 2D tire model and it runs well. I think there is something wrong in my 3D input files since the msg file keep showing the error as:

MAX. PENETRATION ERROR 28.4217E-15 AT NODE 34677 OF CONTACT PAIR
(SIDEWALL-UP,SROAD)
MAX. CONTACT FORCE ERROR -3.58178 AT NODE 58678 OF CONTACT PAIR
(SIDEWALL-UP,SROAD)
THE ESTIMATED CONTACT FORCE ERROR IS OUTSIDE OF CONVERGENCE TOLERANCES.

MAX. PENETRATION ERROR 235.391E-03 AT NODE 67678 OF CONTACT PAIR
(SIDEWALL-UP,SROAD)
MAX. CONTACT FORCE ERROR 913.912 AT NODE 67678 OF CONTACT PAIR
(SIDEWALL-UP,SROAD)
PENETRATION ERROR TOO LARGE COMPARED TO DISPLACEMENT INCREMENT.

And I just attach the 3D input files. Could anyone please tell me how to solve this problem?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Best Regards,
Jay
