Hello everyone again!!!

I Have not been able to resolve the nonlinear problem.
Can someone tell me any elements types, which I can use in this type of problems?

Because, I tried with shell 181 and Plane 42

the problem is nonlinear, with plasticity. I´m trying to analize a sheet ( 1x1x0.1m), whith a compression load of -200000N at top ( like a compression test, the material is a foam, so it will have much deformation)

When I do the "Solve" ansys says, that no converge, so maybe is the material, but if someone have another idea, please tell me.

Thank you very much
