We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hello Peteroznewman So I have not been able to get my solution to converge yet the way that I feel it should. In addition I am not sure how to plot the Newton Raphson residual stress or if the graphics view is the only source of information when the solution does not converge. The results that I am having is the following. See Screen shot. The issue all lies in the pre-load setup and that is behaving in my model. I have no idea why the pre-load is causing this when there should be enough contacts to control this. This is at true scale as well.

Again here shows the setup that I used and the projections in order to add teh contacts required.
Thanks again for all the help and if there is additional information that I can provide with regards to contacts please let me know.
