Hi, I am new to ABAQUS CAE and currently analyzing a post buckling analysis on steel plate shear wall (SPSW) based on various axial load such as 10% Ncy to 100% Ncy on column only. Before post buckling analysis, I have performed buckling analysis and obtained the FIL file. As a result, my post buckling analysis are not successful with several error such as "NOTE: THE SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE DIVERGING. CONVERGENCE IS JUDGED UNLIKELY.", "ERROR: TOO MANY ATTEMPTS MADE FOR THIS INCREMENT" and etc.

I have searched for solutions for the past few days and retried by using different time increment on "STEP", yet still not able to fully perform the analysis correctly with the same error. Therefore, I am wondering, is there any solution able to solve my problem ?

Thanks and appreciate.
