Hello, I’m trying to do a three-point bending test on a biliary stent of 3mm with a multilinear isotropic hardening material, but for some reason the program is not finding a converged solution and not doing the bending correctly, I tried changing the contacts, mesh and the distance between the tool and the stent but somehow is not working. I applied a frictionless support to half of the stent for symmetry.
Can someone help me out?, I’m really stuck and don’t know what to do \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Here is the link of a drive folder with the simulation: Three-point bending test of stent<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m using ANSYS 2022R1<\/p>\n
