FEA Challenges - Could use some help

I'm trying to simulate 2 washer springs being compressed and Solidworks seems to struggle with it.  Can someone please tell me what is wrong with my thinking and/or model?  I come from the Ansys world and am trying to figure out what I need to do to get effective FEA running in SW.
  Essentially the model won't solve and all of my contacts and constraints seem to be good.  I'm not seeing a way to post my model here.
