Check this doc link: Trace Mapping in Mechanical (ansys.com)
From documentation: "Non-linear materials are not supported whenMaterial Modelingis set toAveraged. If the application detects non-linear materials assigned either as trace or dielectric material when the material modeling is set toAverage, then theImported Traceobject becomes invalid and the solution cannot proceed unless the conditions are made valid"
