Sir,
I am trying to perform static analysis in Abaqus with contact properties penalty and hard contact. but when I run my simulation then the warning message comes that "displacement increment for contact is too big" and after that my simulation diverges. I have tried the "adjust only to remove overclosures" as well as the "tie adjusted surface" option in interaction but still, the simulation diverges.
when I checked the job diagnosis option in visualization it says negative eigenvalue.
Please help.
I am attaching my assembly.
Thank you.
