  Hi everybody.
  I can't get a chip. Elements are killed, although I forbade it in the settings. Who can help me? I have been suffering for a long time. Can't find this error. Everything else works like clockwork. What else can I show you? I can attach the archive if anyone can help.
  Here is the contact I am using:

  Hello, those elements are deleted because their volume becomes negative. If those elements were not deleted, error termination would occur as soon as a negative volume element was detected. Element erosion due to negative volume is controlled by the ERODE and DTMIN fields of *CONTROL_TIMESTEP and *CONTROL_TERMINATION respectively, or the PSFAIL field of *CONTROL_SOLID.

    Thank you.
    Yes, this is a very popular answer. I tested with these features enabled and disabled. There are still negative volumes and no chips. I've been doing this for a very long time and have tried everything.
    My only hope is for a professional to look at my file and tell me where the problem was.

  What element type and material model are using?
  Does your material include failure?

    Everything is fine with the material. I tested it on the simplest model:
