What could be causing the below results?  Why is it not coming in as a smooth transition but instead this spotted thing...

Could this have somethign the do with the mesh?  It is a fairly fine mesh.  Nothing crazy on the boundry conditions.  Elastic in a couple spots nothing is fixed.

I should mention that yes there is a piece of steel that sits on top of that pressing down on it.  Not shown in the picture.  But that is why you see stress there to begin with.
