Hi, 

you have deficint material model,  UTS, 0.2% yield strength, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio are not sufficitent , you also need to model the plasticity definition, your material model should look like as follows (ideal, example)

you need to use an failure critieria from the engineerign data as follows 

then you need to make sure that the failure is used by mateial not of geomentric strain limit 

cheers, Ram
