We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

The APDL Materials Reference gives the example input below for temp-dependent bilinear isotropic hardening.  You appear to have only specified the yield stress.  Perhaps a shell element isn't the best choice for a plasticity analysis.  Perhaps a thin solid with several elements through the thickness would be more accurate.
