My Simulation work like I want, but when I Insert a convergence, I get green arrows in my solutions. When I do rightklick on solution and retrieve results I get a yellow lightning for solution. And i do not get Refinement loops. What could be the Problem?

Please see the following Ansys Help section:
Ansys Help -> Mechanical Applications -> Understanding Solving -> Using Adaptive Convergence. Down near the end of the page review the Requirements section. The green down arrow status indicates that this was solve "out of process" i.e. not with the 'My Computer' solve process setting. In that requirements section you should find a statement that running out of process means that we must manually perform the additional convergence loops i.e. manually solve again....and again until the adaptive convergence is converged.
If using Mechanical APDL as the solver, there is an Advanced option in the Solve Process Settings to check on 'solve synchronously' which will allow the adaptive convergence to be solved with one user action (i.e. hit solve once).

OK, I thought something like that and saw that it manual work
