Simulation rejected for leaf spring

The attached file will not simulate under static stress. When nonlinear static stress is attempted it tells me that my tried materials lack nonlinear stress constants.  This is a basic 5160 steel leaf spring. The original warning was very complicated, I cannot quote the language, but beyond most earthlings. It started with 1101 Tetrahedron.... then for like a paragraph.  I tried to gain access to it now, it is refusing, otherwise I would include the warning.

Ideas please!

Thanks,

For your static analysis remove the motion (Settings> Detect and eliminate rigid body modes).
