Accept results of a non-converged simulation

Hello everyone

I have a simulation in Abaqus/Standard to determine the Stiffness of a given element. I load it with 300N but it doesnt converge after 200N (due to some elasticities). I analyze the Force/Displacement curve and its stiffness (delta kraft/delta displacement) almost constant all the way through.

Would it be really wrong to say that the results are far different from reality? An aproximation is fair enough for my purposes, I just need to know if our problem its getting worst or not.

Thank you very much in advance for your points of view.

Best regards
