Thank you for the reply,

Actually I followed the suggestions, moved to static structural for the simulation of the simmetry model (beacuse it is supposed to be). 
I show the actual running setup in the detail, beacuse problem moved to non convergence of the simulation:

Contacts
This time the contact works without the pinball radius defined

Joint

Mesh

Is set to mechanical, should move to nonlinear mechanical?

For the staple I used a sweep method for meshing and body sizing at 0.03mm
For the Anvill I used a face sizing at  0.05mm

Analysis Setting

I’m trying many different config for the many controls, so if there is something which is wrong or bad for the simulation pls let me know.

Boundary conditions

Frictionless is applied in the middle of the staple to reproduce the symmetry.

Convergence

The model is actually running, due to the weight of the model is not so fast (work’s pc not a big perfomer).
If you have any sign of bad convergence that i do not see just let me know.

In the end…

With the static structural i got till here, the last simulation before the before shown setup stopped here: 

Due to convergence problems i got many bisections in the process, I’ll figure it out how to avoid em with step reduction.

Thank you in advance for all
