Thank you very much for the prompt response. As requested, I have attached inline images for your review.


I have tried another method where I apply the load using nodal displacement. I highlighted the nodes around the applied loading in order to stimulate the experimental setup as shown in the figure below.
So far it runs well however, I still could able to get the result for Equivalent Plastic Strain as can be seen in the figure below. I could not get the plastic strains, there aren't any plots too. I have included Chaboche kinematic hardening and Multilinear isotropic hardening. Still, I could not get the results.

Looking forward to your guidance and advice. Thank you.
