Large deformation thermal expansion modeling

[AWooll]

Attempt to use thermal expansion of soft materials (elastic) to cause large, looping and curling deformations of a thin sheet. At larger deformations, the solution aborts and I would like help in solving this issue; abortion comes from multiple reasons depending on what in the model I have changed to try and fix the last error. Here is the basic info of the model.

Basic properties:
-Long, tall, thin (in thickness direction) sheet
-Composed of two materials with different material properties
-Most important different co-efficients of thermal expansion
-Displacement constraint of zero in all directions at one end
-Two predetermine fields that induce a temperature change
-Use of quadratic elements with the reduced integration box unchecked (found this had better results so far)
-Increment altered to 0.1,1e-9,1 and 1000 allowed
-ALE meshing applied with frequency 4 and sweep 3

I was wondering if their are any tricks or options I could use to get the larger expansions to complete in the solver. I am also wondering if my type of analysis is best suited for Abaqus/Standard or Dynamic Explicit. I have uploaded my input file. It has multiple models; each is the same analysis just different attempts to make it work. Each one is generally the same but only varies in ways to have the different analysis technique run. Thank you for any help you guys have.
