Hi Ankush,

Thanks for the advice! I’ve now tried using Stabilization with default parameters in both the constant/reduce and energy/damping methods, but I was still unable to converge. From what I can read, Stabilization helps when convergence can’t occur because of abrupt, unstable points like buckling. Nothing like buckling ever occurs for me. In fact, the solver does not finish solving more than 1 load step before it errors out.
