The model had some converged substeps. Select the last converged subsetp to plot the deformation. That is the row above the End Time in the Tabular Data.
Under Analysis Settings, click on the Solution Information folder, and in the Details window, select Force Convergence and reply with a screen snapshot of that graph.
Then change from Force Convergence to Solution Output. Click ctrl-F to find the word error. Read the text around that word, Copy paste the text into your reply.
Set the Initial and Minimum substeps to 1000 and solve that. With plasticity, it is important to prevent the solver from taking large steps late in the solution time.
