Hi Peter,

I have managed to improve the convergence problem by applying the Nonlinear Adaptive Region tool. After doing physical tests in the lab, I measured a 10% increase in thickness around the indentation area when the centre was indented to 50% of the original thickness, but the simulations are showing only about a 1% increase in thickness. Do you have any advice on how to make the simulations yield the same results as the experiments? Thank you again!
